I have painted all my life. I am self-taught and grew up in Hampshire, although I’m now living my dream life in Cornwall, where I paint full time from my studio at home.
My work blends bold lines with flowing forms, reflecting the balance between structure and imagination. Inspired by colour, shape and the joy of creating, my art is all about sparking happiness and connection. Commissions are always welcomed!
My distinctive style blends the clarity of hard-edged lines, reflecting the rules and routines of daily life, with freedom of flowing shapes that represent imagination, daydreams and limitless possibility. Though seemingly opposite, these elements co-exist harmoniously in my work, like old friends in quiet conversation. Working primarily in acrylics and mixed media, I am inspired by colour, form and the joy of artistic expression.
My aim is simple, to create art that lifts the spirit and bring a smile.
This is particularly evident in my ‘Joy Junction’ series that represents a release of the creative potential of my unconscious mind. When I paint, I don’t very often have a clear idea of what the final piece will look like, but like a tree adding new growth, my creative mind takes me in many directions. I look on my creative process like a train journey; I know where I eventually want to end up, but I’m not too sure of what I will encounter along the way or how long the journey will take!
