Bio

I have loved creating art since my childhood and went to art college when I left school. I continued to paint whilst bringing up my children. I then decided to return to college and studied for a degree in fine art. I graduated in 2011 and then returned for a further year as a fellow.

Since then I work from my home studio which fits in well around family life. 

I love to create semi-abstract artworks with lots of texture. Mark making is also an important part of my process.  I find that the seasons have some influence on my chosen colours but I always prefer to mix my palette to more subtle shades and tones.

Sometimes my paintings are evoked by my childhood memories of time spent growing up in this beautiful coastal area. I love to walk whatever the weather and as we move from season to season the changes in these surrounding landscapes are documented in my abstract and semi abstract paintings.

The inspiration for my still life paintings come from the everyday objects that surround me. My figurative works come from my imagination.
