I am passionate about art, I see it as a very positive energy force in the world, like music, it has the power to comfort, inspire, energise, soothe or excite, or to provoke and unnerve – art has all these possibilities and for me provides a never ending journey of discovery. This site showcases my latest body of work using both acrylics on canvas and egg tempera on gesso panels.
Most of my work is done using the ancient techniques of egg tempera and gilding on my own handmade gesso panels. Over twenty years ago I studied icon painting using egg tempera and gold leaf and my work has developed from this starting point. I continually revisit this beautiful medium to produce contemporary work, which I hope has the ability to capture the everyday beauty of the world from dramatic landscapes to simple objects.
