Originally from London but now living in Buckinghamshire working from my home studio, my output includes figures and the natural world. Colour is immensely important to me from blowsy pinks and reds to tasteful silver blues and whites with hints of blush or peach. My process which begins in a playful and abstract way, allows investigation and exploration often leading to quite unexpected but delightful outcomes.
Art demands deep observation which draws attention to the unremarkable as well as the wonder of our lives, and it is usually the mundane that initially attracts me and compels me to transform it into a moment of stillness and contemplation. Oils and cold wax are predominant in my work, in combination with collage and various mixed media for added texture, along with expressive mark-making helping to capture the feelings and qualities of the natural elements around us as well as an emotional response to people and their lives.
