I have very recently started painting again after a break of over 10 years after I lost the will to paint following the death of my mother. I recently started to feel the urge to paint again and have been enjoying the journey to 'heal my broken art' using bold colours and a loose abstract style but also in between these works I've been also working on more detailed work, revisiting my love of wildlife painting from years gone by when I travelled to Africa and painted the rich and diverse wildlife there. Prior to giving up painting 10 years ago I was an award winning and exhibiting artist, a Fellow of The British Watercolour Society and a Fellow of The British Society of Painters.
