them into an app. This used to be Artstudio on my iPad, but now I use Photoshop as it allows me to have them printed much larger.
For me, digital art is just another tool and outlet for creativity. It allows me to choose just parts of the paintings if I wish, change colour schemes, add textures, drawing or erase areas. I can then layer these paintings together, merging them to produce something new, exciting and often quite abstract.
Can you tell us about the courses you offer?
My main block of teaching has just started and that is a six-week summer watercolour course that I run in Marden and Hildenborough. I also teach some Saturday classes during the year for Kent Wildlife Trust together with workshops for a number of art groups.
What has been your proudest artistic achievement to date?
I think I would have to say my next one! Like many artists, I tend to be a perfectionist and never completely satisfied with my achievements, but I think that this is what drives us and pushes us on to bigger and more exciting things.
Where have you exhibited your work?
Mainly in London and the South East of England. I have exhibited with the Pure Arts group, Florum, the Kent Painter’ s Group and Making Art Work. I’ m also represented by the Artspring Gallery in Tonbridge, which is a collective of 17 artists, and I open my studio in June as part of South East Open Studios.
What does the rest of 2017 hold in store for you?
I was commissioned last September to write a watercolour book called Expressive Landscapes for Search Press, which will be published in July 2018. I am in the middle of writing it now and am loving the whole process.
I will also be exhibiting this autumn with the Kent Painters’ Group at Sevenoaks School on 27th, 28th and 29th October. The Making Art Work exhibition,
Blurring Boundaries, is at the Kaleidoscope Gallery in Sevenoaks from 1st to 11th November and moves on to the Nucleus Arts gallery in Chatham from 16th to 29th November.
