Columbia, SC
I was born in England, grew up in South and Central America, I have lived all over the U.S. The brilliant, glassy skies and ethereal landscapes of the Midwest and South America have remained with me as an adult painter.
I have worked with children for many years. Their innocent drawings, art and activities influence my art and my perspective of the world as has all my travelling. My five children and these children inspire me to loosen up and bring about fascinating, interesting images that sometimes don’t appear to go together. I strive to create questions which are almost illustrative, telling a story. With my choice of imagery I paint with simple suggestions and minimalist brush strokes.
