After 38 years of teaching Art, firstly at Honley High, then 32 at Greenhead College, I now have time to explore my own creativity, setting up a studio and enjoying my artistic journey. Still-life, Landscape, Abstract all cross over, compositions are not literal. Shapes are sometimes recognisable but also obtuse, to be re interpreted, my interest is often drawn to the spaces, lines and scribbles in between them. I play with a sense of near and far, stillness and movement, building up surfaces, textures and combining layers, serendipity, just seeing what happens. Geometric shapes create a sense of continuity, whilst fluid organic shapes connect me emotionally. Inspired by the seasons, panoramic landscapes but also small moments, such as a hopping bee. Colour is central, to my work, it is what makes my heart sing, brings me joy , a sense of optimism and hopefulness.
