I always work in acrylics on canvas as I find them particularly responsive to the way that I work. I use them almost like watercolours, building up many layers of washes to gain the right depth of tone & at times gaining a translucent effect. The natural world & the wildlife that inhabit it & the state of this world is the drive that carries me forward through each painting. In my art I try to imagine the story behind the scene to create an emotion & give a connection for the viewer.
