I am a contemporary artist that works in soft pastel.
My interest is in the beauty of every-day ordinariness.
With soft pastel, it's about pure pigment, about intense color. Color is the key - creating vitality, movement and sometimes vibration where edges meet.
I paint what makes me take note - everyday objects that carve out their own space, suggesting form by the negative shapes they create. I see things in abstract, but the narrative of a drawn line is also important.
Put more simply, it's about color, form and texture, play, interaction and balance.
From London, now based in New York, I exhibit in both the UK and USA.
I am a member of the UK Pastel Society.
