‘Summer flooding’ oil

I had always been interested in Art but never even lifted up a pencil until I moved up to Norfolk and undertook the Diploma course in Contemporary Oil Painting at the Norfolk Painting School in 2020.

It was transformative for me; finally I found what I wanted to achieve in my future.  I loved all aspects of the learning, from studio craft, technical skills, art history and loved the challenges of painting studies of the Masters and learning from doing them.

Unclear which creative direction my painting was taking me until I undertook a workshop September last year in Italy with an American Tonalist.  It was truly inspirational for me.
I love painting in this way, about memory and longing, colour and form, subtle expressive landscapes, a compromise between temporal and eternal. I now consider myself a contemporary Tonalist artist.
