For many years, I explored colour, line and form, working in pastels as I studied nude after nude after nude… it was a source of comfort, to spend an evening of life drawing with my box of ancient pastels by my side and a spectrum of colours to juxtapose. Those days are over now, and I have moved on to more complex themes. The images you see on this page are a selection of what may well be thousands of studies conducted over a 20 year period as I found my way in the world of colour.
