Over the past twenty something years I have “played” with acrylics, inks, rattle cans
and encaustic wax to name but a few. There is something magical about making
marks with scrapers, brushes and impromptu tools and applications.
The whole point for me is about having fun; the “zone, flow” call it what you will
is a fantastic place to be, calming, soothing, occasionally frustrating, but always
enjoyable, ‘my studio, my sanctuary’.
When I was contacted by Wraptious.com and five paintings were taken on to become
prints, t-shirts and greeting cards I felt I was making progress and I have found
building relationships with galleries interesting and a subject in itself. I have recently
been asked to join a local group (DART – Disley Arts and Recreation Together) the
aim of which is to hold Community Together events to bring arts and crafts to a wider
audience, my own role being demonstrations of paint effects and techniques.
The journey continues ....
