I tried to push art away, for a variety of reasons, but it kept finding a way back to me so I guess it's meant to be in my life! And here I am, third time lucky, making a commitment to art. Art is joy, colour, happiness, life-itself.
I feel I'm fairly eclectic in my approach to art. My main focus at the moment is lino printing - it's something I'm quite new to but something just clicked when I tried it. 'I felt life in me again' as Gandalf said, and that's kind of how I felt! Something in me lit up and I knew this was something I had to and wanted to do. I like that I can take a static drawing and do something so physical with it - carving it into the lino, inking it up and creating a painted image - multiple painted images! Each one slightly different and unique each time.
I also enjoy nature photography - there's so much inspiration to be found in the natural world. I particularly like to photograph trees, leaves and plants. And digital art makes an appearance in my 'collection' too, in the form of badges, notebooks and tea towels, which have been decorated using my digital designs.
My subjects range from nature to fantasy, and there's a fair few images of my dog! I adore colour, but I also enjoy a bit of monochrome - there's beauty in all of it.
