I joined SMA in 2022 after I retired. I sold my first painting later the following year when I submitted ‘The Japanese Garden’ to HOME in Manchester for an exhibition showcasing north west artists. Just knowing someone else had enjoyed my work as much as I had enjoyed painting it, was enough to keep me painting.
At SMA we we have monthly demonstrations from other artists, and it is through their tips and advice I am learning how art materials work, how to apply them, and how to compose a picture that hopefully draws the viewer in for a second look. The process is very addictive, and I am my own worst critic at making sure I have created something I’m happy with. I work in watercolour, acrylic and mixed media.
