Artwork Description
I feel the oriental approach to painting is ideally suited to the depiction of birds, with its wispy brush strokes and subtlety of tone. This painting was inspired by an image of a Korean tree sparrow. As an English language tutor, I have enjoyed close connections with the UK's large Korean community. Medium: Water colour on textured oriental paper

Biography

"West Meets East" is what I call this collection of pictures.
I discovered the joys of painting in my early twenties, while running a pre-school playgroup. Before clearing up each day, I would sit at a miniature art easel and experiment with paint, which inspired me to join an art class.
After three decades of intermittent watercolour painting, I was drawn to the study of Japanese inkwash. As a meditator, I had always resonated with this style of art, with its minimalist approach, where space is as important as the brush strokes, emanating a sense of calm. I was delighted to find that the technique included a full minute of meditative stirring of the inkblock before applying the fast, focused flicks of the brush, which can be either bold or subtle.
Then in 2011, I inherited the oil paints of my late father, an accomplished amateur artist (and cousin of the prominent Edinburgh artist, the late Sax Shaw). Immediately, I fell in love with the richness of colour and texture of oils and have mainly used this medium ever since. However, recently I have also been exploring the potential of inkpen with coloured washes - and so the creative journey continues....
Brought up in the North of England by Scottish parents, I now live in richly bohemian Brighton and divide my time between painting, enjoying nature and lapping up the local culture...
