Personal Statement
I have been painting seascapes for many years, I have honed my skills through hard work & determination to achieve my own distinct style.I love the versatility & atmosphere I can achieve using Acrylic & mixed-media. I spend hours wandering our coastline, gaining inspiration, absorbing the ever changing light, how it casts its shadows one moment, then the sun peeps through spreading sparkles & patterns over the surface of the water. Mesmerising & calm one day & dramatic with crashing waves causing deep swells, producing spectacular sprays, I try to capture this in my work. I paint from my mind, imagination & soul, I endeavour to capture drama & atmosphere to draw the viewer into the painting, as if they were there. My approach & style has evolved & I aim to represent emotions, focusing on my personal interpretation & feelings for the subject. As I paint my work comes alive during it’s evolving development, initially I have no vision, I never know what will happen, until it’s happened, it just becomes. I like to experiment using different mediums to achieve interesting textures. The main thing that excites me about painting is the constant journey of learning & improving my skills.
