Framed original pastel paintings plus printed items
Being self employed and nearing that glorious retirement age I am in the very privileged situation of reducing the working hours and increase my creative hours. The day job is running training courses on using the creative arts to support social and emotional development and well-being in children and teens and improve mental health, a subject close to my heart. I spend my nonwork time with my dog walking by the sea on Portland where I live, visiting my family, or sitting in my sunny conservatory with my easel. I have always enjoyed being creative but only in the last few years have been brave enough to begin showing my pictures. I work mainly in soft pastels and pastel pencils. I love the softness of this medium and the depth of colour that can be achieved, although the acrylic paints do make an appearance now and then depending on mood and subject.
My creations mainly come from the natural world; it provides me with a constant wealth of inspiration. You will spot pictures of all sorts of birds, animals and plants alongside glorious seascapes in my collection. It depends on what catches my imagination.
