About
Having been painting for a few years now, and having been featured in a good few exhibitions and art prizes and had some good sales, I have become weary of art-speak and gobbledigook nonsense.
Truth is my art isn't trying to 'say' anything (unless it says something to you in particular). I have no political agenda - obviously !! I am not trying to make a 'statement' or social comment and I have not and never will use the word juxtaposition !
My figurative paintings have a surreal and sometimes naive quality focussing on emotion rather than realism and are purely decorative in the main.
My abstracts are colourful and fairly controlled for abstracts but are not planned - they just evolve until I consider them done.
I often use repurposed surfaces and frames to add to the vintage feel of my artwork.
All I want is for someone to like my art enough to take it home and put it on their wall.That is the greatest compliment of all.
I started painting in my 60s and aim to continue being a grumpy but enthusiastic artist until they cart me off.
