Welcome to my space. Thanks for stopping by.







about.
Painting found me a few years ago and we have been together since. I don't seem to really enjoy formal education and structured learning so decided to teach myself more about art and painting. I've spent hours on the net, learning and feeding off the massive amounts of material on the subject.
I must acknowledge and thank all those creative people, artists and teachers who selflessly share their knowledge and tips online. These are people who put videos and material on the net for others to learn and find their way around materials, techniques and ideas. There are thousands of videos on every genre of painting and it's a matter of pursuing and experimenting with the one that most speaks to you. It's amazing how technology has made the world a smaller place and how sharing information and experience can make the world a brighter one.
I started with canvas and acrylics and have evolved since...actually there have been phases with different materials and techniques and I don't feel the need to settle into just one style or expression. I usually paint two or three canvases together and while one is drying or evolving, I often switch to the second, which usually turns out to be a totally different palette and style.
