Sometimes I'm shocked by how far my work travels, not only where it's been shown but where its collected. It's a bit mind-blowing at times!
While I sell mainly in the U.K. I also have collectors in the USA and Australia, as well as Europe.
Initially I showed in the South West of England, with art trails in Wiltshire, group shows in Bath, Bristol and up as far as Shropshire. Then my work was selected for larger shows, including selling at both the gallery represented Affordable Art Fair and artist represented Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair in London—and making a return to my North West roots with Manchester Art Fair 2025 was very exciting.
May 2026 and several paintings are showing at The Sanctuary Gallery and Studio as part of All Things Bright and Beautiful exhibition, which makes my heart soar!
It's also great to have my work represented in the north (Cheshire) by Clare Rawlinson at Stockton Heath Gallery.
Painting vibrant, expressive paintings - feminist florals and emotional abstracted landscapes, often begin with acrylic but I can never resist my favourite, oils. My starting point is emotion; colour selection is crucial to conveying a sense of strength, empowerment and freedom in my work. Often inspired by Wiltshire-where I have lived and worked for decades-my work gives a sense of belonging, positivity and hope.
Community is at the heart of my journey. In 2021, I co-launched the ArtChatter podcast, fostering dialogue and connection within the creative world - it was a shock and delight to have the podcast nominated, short-listed and then win the runner-up place (from 17 international finalists) at The Women's Business Awards 2025.
Alongside exhibiting, I have previously mentored and support fellow women artists, regularly participate in mastermind and strategy calls—all of which keep stretching me, helping me learn and evolve as an artist.
Although I only take on a couple of commissions in any given year, please do talk to me if you think you may want something painted just for you.
