| Below is a selection of some of the different styles I use in my artwork. It isn't exhaustive but hopefully it gives you a chance to see what it is I'm about! |

| Loose, pattern-based overlaid designs in pen and Indian ink. These designs could be used as background or surface designs for textiles such as bed linen. |

| I use watercolours for real life and characters. Loosely-drawn sketches in pencil are over-painted in semi-traditional watercolour fashion. Sometimes I'll overwork the watercolour with different media such as pen and ink and pencil crayons. The results can be used as a design for just about anything - from conceptual art to 3-d figures. |

| Pen drawing... with a trusty Bic Biro... is one of my favourite ways of creating conceptual artwork or capturing the detail of still life; it's a fast medium that suits my spontaneous and fairly impatient personality! |

 |
| I also enjoy mixing media to create unusual stylistic effects. These designs utilise a watercolour base overworked with pen and ink to lend depth and texture which might otherwise be missing. |

| These are examples of how I use glass paint in conjunction with specialist glitters to create designs which are sparkly, witty and aimed at a younger generation. The materials used help the designs to retain their sense of spontaneity; the choice of medium is critical to the subject matter. |
