I am mainly a self-taught artist, beginning in evening classes at a local art centre in the 1970's; I've continued painting ever since. My major interests lie within landscape and floral work. My home area of Somerset has often provided me with many traditional subjects; I enjoy dark weather, clouds, water and atmospheric effects; and other favourite regions include Scotland and Cumbria. I did not work with floral themes until the late 1990's; having produced traditional styles to begin with, I began working close-up to the plants and developed an "inner landscape" approach; subconsciously following my former career involving microscopic laboratory work.
