Mixed media, painting
I'm a mixed-media artist, painting uplifting expressive florals, land/seascapes. Inspired by my background, daily walks and travels, I explore the feelings of these experiences, the forces and beauty of nature, its transience and seasonal colours. I embrace the use of layering techniques and using palette knives to give a freedom of gestural strokes, which capture a rhythm, energy and spontaneity to create a semi-abstract effect. Hints of gold and resin touches can also be found throughout my work, as I explore light and reflection. I invite the viewer to slow down, reflect on the connections within the spiritual and natural world, drawing parallels between human interactions and conversations. My mission is to create art with soul.
My work has extended to clay-sculpt works, including small decorative dishes and boxed art.

My creative journey first began at a young age with my love of drawing , painting, and making models and clay objects. After an exciting Foundation in Art and Design, which exposed me to many techniques, I went on to specialise and graduate with a BA(Hons) degree in Interior design (3d design), and worked in this field for over 30 years. Lockdown gave me time to paint again and reignited my passion for hands on creativity. I have been developing my art practice, by incorporating new mixed-media techniques, combining disciplines to create original artworks for homes and work spaces. I have been part of Artists at Home for 5 years and W4 Art and Design group for 4 years.
Viewing can be arranged by appointment all year round, and I also warmly invite commissions.
This year, for Artists at Home in June, I am showing my work with Carol Tait at her sudio in Chiswick.
