I create paintings inspired by the landscape and seasonal changes, working in oils, watercolour and acrylics. My art begins as en plein air sketches and photos, before I explore my ideas further in the studio. This develops the expressive and imaginative qualities of my art as I remove myself from the original source. I love to explore mark making, colour and light. People often comment on the vibrancy and atmosphere in my paintings. My art celebrates nature and my experience of it, capturing a moment of awe and spiritual connection.
I was a finalist in the Art Unlimited International Art Competition September 2024 with my oil painting ‘Summer Solstice’ which sold at the exhibition. I am currently exhibiting in ‘Biophilia’ at Dorset County Hospital as part of a selected group of artists concerned with nature and ‘bringing the outside in.’ This exhibition moves to Royal United Hospital in Bath from July – October 2025. I will also be taking part in Devon Open Studios in September. (For details please see their website)
