A little bit about me

Since first being able to hold a crayon I am at my happiest drawing and painting from my studio in the garden. I like to paint a variety of subjects from the landscape - trees, rocks, castle ruins seascapes and reflections in water. I consider colour, light and composition applying layers of paint and glazes.

I work in a variety of media including oils, acrylics, gouache, oil and dry pastels. The process of creating paintings, along with wanting to express how I feel, results in a rich tapestry of colour and texture.

As well as landscape paintings I have illustrated some traditional stories including the Firebird, The Skeleton Woman and the Crescent Moon Bear.

Over the last few years I've exhibited in a number of venues and Art Fairs. I have also run  art demos and workshops for Art Societies.

During 2026 I have been exhibiting at the Wiltshire Museum, with the Frome Open Art Trail and Somerset Art Weeks.

I have had work shown at the Royal West of England Academy, The Mall, Bath Society of Arts Open, and Southampton Art Gallery. Currently a few of my paintings can be seen at the First View Gallery, Stourhead.

I am a member of Bruton Art Society, Artists303, the New Bath Art Club and Bath Art Circle. I am currently the Events Coordinator for the Frome Open Arts Trail. Also, I help to run the Frome Art for Wellbeing.
