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 .
