I currently work mainly in acrylic paint and mixed media. I love to be outside, and my work often responds to the experience of being in nature – whether in the garden or in the wild. Living on the Peninsula, the sea often provides inspiration for my work.

I think of painting and drawing as ways to learn about the world around me. And when I paint or draw, I find I look more closely and see more.

I enjoy the process of “random” mark-making, which can lead to such exciting discoveries within the painting. I often build up many layers of paint and sometimes collage to create an interesting texture and I make spontaneous marks on the canvas using various tools and sometimes even paint brushes! Having created a layered surface, I use a mixture of adding and subtracting to find the image or the idea and help it emerge from the paint.

I would be delighted to have you visit my studio during the Open Studio weekends and I look forward to meeting you and having a chat about all things art!
