I was born and brought up on a farm in the West Berkshire countryside, so I’ve always had a love for nature and the English landscape. I originally trained as a graphic designer and worked in that field for around 14 years before taking time out to have my two children.
Most of my early pieces were created in mixed media with added stitching and beads to create ornate, decorative pieces. Now I work mainly in acrylics and use a specific brand of paint called Jo Sonja by Chroma that comes in a beautiful range of shades, giving my artwork its distinctive colour palette. I rarely plan what I’m going to paint and prefer to work from my imagination letting the image evolve organically. My paintings often evoke feelings of nostalgia and give a sense of serenity and calm in this often chaotic world. My work has increased in popularity over the last few years and I have paintings and prints in collections worldwide.
