Biography
As far back as I can remember I developed what became a signature based on the music of Elgar and the Malvern Hills. Almost all my paintings from memory have a Malverns mountain backdrop along with two birds as a symbol of freedom. The Malverns were the closest I could get to my beloved Wales, a high place to catch a distant vista of a land I had a heart for.
Who would have thought that in our seventies we would move to Wales, with a house sitting a field away from the sea!
We have learned to speak Welsh as learners and continue to do so. It is important to us both.
I now paint mainly in oils and acrylics with an aim to capture a feeling, a moment, an expression. Subjects often include villages - seascapes - mountains and hills - and always, the wonderful ever changing skies.
The two quotes on my ARTFINDER site are from the Bible. As a Christian I have always loved the image of 'the valleys full of corn' bursting into song. It speaks to me of exuberance and abundance. I seek in my painting to express something of that fullness. I know the world has a great deal of sadness but I can perhaps show that it also is a place of incredible beauty. My longing has always been to open peoples eyes to the places they have passed by without noticing.
