Art will bring you joy!
Since finding my way to painting, my life has filled with colour, confidence and connection.
I paint intuitive, landscape inspired works that hold the physical act of painting and the quiet, transformative moments I experience in nature.
Putting a painting you love on your wall will elevate your space and bring you pleasure every day!
Painting for me, is a physical and immersive act.
Working on a large scale allows me to move with the work, to respond instinctively and energetically. I’m drawn to the space where presence and process meet – the quiet joy of watching a composition unfold, often unexpectedly through gesture, layering and mark-making.
It always begins with the landscape, not as a fixed image, but as a lived, felt experience – a walk along the shore, a glint of seaweed, a shift in light. These are the moments I try to translate: not just what I see, but what transforms me while I’m there.
Although I work on lots of paintings at the same time, I tend not to use the exact same colour palette or the same references.
These paintings are all individuals and each will remain a one-off.
I often describe my paintings as acrylic and mixed media - that’s because although I mainly use acrylic paint, within the layers there maybe… watercolour pencils, inks, oil pastel or collage!
A painting can be a hard earned treat, a stunning gift, something to aspire to, the finishing touch to a space or the starting point for a room restyle
Art does not have to match the room it’s in, if you love it you will find the right spot for it.
Simply and beautifully framed these paintings are ready to put straight on your wall!
“So pleased we came to the exhibition and saw your work. ‘Soaring’ fits in with the space, colours, textures and theme perfectly.”
