I'm so lucky to have exhibited widely, initially locally, building a growing base of UK and international collectors. More recently my work has been 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—however making a return to my North West roots with Manchester Art Fair 2025 feels very exciting.
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.
Alongside exhibiting, I mentor and support fellow women artists, 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.
When I'm not painting I co-host the artchatter podcast with fellow West Country artist, Karen George.
