Grad <strong>Spring</strong>back<br />
Back to working in my home environment, the richness of the natural world<br />
around me brings a host of inspiration. I am fascinated by the complexity<br />
of floral structure, and love to explore th<strong>is</strong> alongside pattern, texture and<br />
colour, bringing the maximum possible vibrancy and dynam<strong>is</strong>m to each<br />
canvas. Sharing th<strong>is</strong> particular studio gives an additional impetus to my<br />
endeavour, and you can expect to see a colourful array of acrylics, and<br />
mixed media pieces, alongside v<strong>is</strong>ually ‘growing’ works in process.<br />
