My art practice is an exploration of line in 2D work. Having come from a traditional painting background, I have reduced painting down to just lines and these encapsulate everything. For over a decade, I have worked in watercolour and my style has developed and evolved; becoming more linear and graphic.
The lines are the focal point in my artworks. My current style is the distillation of water colour techniques applied to oil paint.
