I enjoy bringing subjects to life with a bold use of colour and have developed my own distinctive style using acrylic paint on board, painting landscapes, wildlife, world events and occasionally including humour with a social commentary. I especially enjoy producing work which provokes a response from the viewer and love to experiment using contrasting colours. I aim to inspire the viewer to connect emotionally and question the status quo. I admire the work of all artists but am particularly interested in the era of Pop Art and the work of Andy Warhol, especially his experimental use of colour and mass produced images based on popular culture and icons of his time.
