This summer I graduated with a first class BA fine art degree, as a mature student, from Aberystwyth University Art School, an amazing, exciting, challenging and motivating experience resulting in a number of new projects, inspirations and threads to follow. Currently my paintings investigate how humans use land / time passing and memory based in my local landscape, themes that explore the hidden and reveled, seeking treasure within and without.
Light, shape, colour and texture are expressed through bold gestural use of paint and mark making. I mainly use acrylic paint, sometimes adding oil pastel , working fast and usually on more than one painting at a time, the beauty of acrylic paint is its quick drying nature, allowing layers to be built up rapidly. I will often scratch through or scrape back a layer to reveal the colours and textures hidden beneath.
You can physically see my work at Artworks Aberdyfi (see artworksaberdyfi.co.uk) where I show and sell original works and cards and at a number of group shows throught the year, I also work on commisions so feel free to get in touch.
