I enjoy using pastels. The colors can be bright and also nuanced, layered or subtracted, giving depth and mystery. I’ve had fun working with pastels and collage on cardboard, a ready-made, textured surface. Engaging with a piece until it expresses my point of view is very rewarding.
Hi, I’m Geof a retired scientist who now paints and teaches art. I am an experienced university teacher who has lectured and run workshops on three continents. Nationally known I earned my PhD from the University of Liverpool in the UK. I specialise in beautiful skyscapes and landscapes. I am a member of the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS) and a Professional Associate Tutor with the SAA. I have also held significant positions in other art organizations. I love teaching and have taught in-person and on-line for over thirty years throughout the United Kingdom and in Europe and the USA.
As a watercolor artist, I am deeply inspired by the natural world that surrounds us. My work is a celebration of the beauty found in flowers, forests, and landscapes, all painted with the soft yet vibrant touch of watercolor. The fluidity of the medium allows me to capture nature in its most delicate and dynamic forms, blending subtle washes with bold strokes to create pieces that feel alive and ever-changing. I find joy in the challenge of translating the intricate details of nature into my paintings—whether it’s the intricate petals of a flower, the gentle curve of a forest path, or the fleeting moments of light across a landscape. My approach is rooted in both observation and emotion, as I seek not only to capture the essence of what I see but to convey the feeling of being immersed in those natural environments. Each piece is an exploration of light, color, and texture, and I strive to bring the viewer into the moment, inviting them to pause and appreciate the small wonders that often go unnoticed. For me, painting nature is not just about depicting what is in front of me but about sharing the peace, awe, and inspiration that these natural settings evoke. Through my work, I hope to foster a deeper connection between the viewer and the natural world, encouraging mindfulness and a sense of tranquility that can be found in the beauty of our environment.
