About Me

As an accomplished painter spanning over 30 years, with a catalogue of private and corporate collectors, I have collaborated on corporate installations, organised many art projects for schools and art groups and have led fundraising art projects for charity events. I have exhibited in both joint and solo exhibitions since the year 2000.

I absolutely love colour and texture, it is at the core of all my work whether a landscape, seascape, abstract, or contemporary female face. I work in mixed media including cold wax and encaustic wax, oils, acrylics, inks and watercolour incorporating many textures and glazes, collage, organic matter such as rose petals, mushroom spores, beach flotsam, leaves and the natural earth. I use bold colours and brave brushstrokes with paint spattering and drips which give a contemporary and expressionist look to my work sometimes bordering on total abstraction. I always try to reflect the beauty of the living world and the people in it using an abstract visual language having ‘conversations with colour’ on a daily basis.

Artist Statement – ‘It is important to remember how beautiful our natural world is and I take my inspiration from everything I see around me expressing this through the medium of paint, texture and organic matter. I am totally inspired by the realities and wonders of nature, seeing everything in bright vivid colour, painting with an expressionist element, often verging on total abstraction, which takes my work in a vibrant and exciting direction, culminating in a unique and unmistakable style. I aim to capture the feeling and the beauty that I find in our natural world by painting not only what I see, but also what I feel. Colours are like words to me’.
