Since my early teens I've had an interest in paintings and trawled antique shops and markets looking for bargains, getting to know dealers, developing a good eye and building a large collection. This led to me selling paintings at higher level antique fairs and later online for a number of years. I have admired artists of all styles for as long as I can remember, especially the impressionists, post-impressionism and the Norwich School of painters. I'm inspired by these artists, self-taught and add to my brush miles at every opportunity.
