Thanks for visiting my site, I’m a full-time artist based in south west of England.
I’m primarily an oil painter working on canvas and board, but love experimenting with other mediums.
Creating abstracted emotional landscapes and florals; my route to creating this genre was via a career in counselling, safeguarding and outreach work.
My work is abstracted to encourage women to create their own narrative and understanding of the piece-exploring emotions within the paintings, negating societal pressure of being told how to react and engage; exploring power and strength while seeing the underlying nuances and meaning behind each piece.
Since returning to full time art practice I’ve been lucky to further my artistic development through investing in a series of intensive courses, workshops, mentorships and programmes, and now I love experimenting with other mediums.
I work from my garden studio in the beautiful county of Wiltshire, South West England.
Having worked with oil paints for years, I have been experimenting with acrylic and mixed media which gives me a flexibility in my practice.
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.
When I'm not painting I co-host the artchatter podcast with fellow West Country artist, Karen George.
We have been sharing the ups and downs of life in our studios in 2021 - find us anywhere you listen to podcasts.
