I live in Auckland, NZ and love to paint. Trying to capture the feel of a place or object can seem illusive, often it's an intuitive thing that seems to come through during the process. A famous artist once said "A painting should be felt not analysed" and I think there's a lot of truth in that. In a previous life I worked in Television as camerawoman, that's where I learned some of the basics, lighting, mood, composition...all that stuff, but you never stop learning, I'm always looking for ways to hone my skills, soaking up whatever there is to learn about painting.
