Artistic background

I have been drawing and painting since I could hold a crayon. My Art developed in High School, where I was taught that "Art is eighty per cent practice and twenty per cent talent." I trained as a Heraldic artist for nearly two years and loved the detail and process. My further art studies took me to the Symondsbury School of Art, where I completed a foundation course in Fine Art. I focus mainly on colour and texture to interpret my vision of an abstract world. I have also scaled down my canvasses to work in a smaller contained format that is easier to display and visually stimulating.
