I am a semi abstract painter working from my garden studio in rural Lincolnshire.
My love of art and creativity began at an early age winning many art competitions before completing a foundation course at Lincoln Art College followed by an Honours Degree in Textiles from Manchester Met University.
My style captures the emotion and atmosphere of nature – the sea, the sky, stormy clouds and wild landscapes feature in my work. A lifetime love of colour and texture, I mainly work in acrylic but often use mixed media to enhance the artwork.
After my degree I embarked on a varied artistic career from colour mixing in a textile studio to running my own successful online card and print company
In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I had to make some big changes in my life and I rekindled my love of painting.
My work recently featured in The Artist magazine and I was a semi finalist in The Artist lounge competition 50 Shades of Red run by The Kinghouse Gallery.
