I began by drawing and making sculpture from life during my teens and twenties, culminating in gaining a BA (hons.) degree in Fine Art at UWE, Bristol as a mature student – over seven years with 3 small children!
Since 2000 I have exhibited in galleries in London, Cornwall and the Cotswolds, as well as several times at the RWA ‘New Gallery’. I was represented by Innocent Fine Art until its closure, and now exhibit with Flux Gallery in Park Street, Bristol, the RWA shop and Iroka Design outside St. Ives.

When something exterior and visual becomes something internal and spiritual.
It is hard to hold on to the sensation of those moments when I am moved by a connection that is pure joy: which enters through my senses and impacts my inner being viscerally.
My paintings breathe life back into those moments and ‘bottle’ them.

I make work on paper, canvas, wood. Paintings, screenprints, and painted objects.
I make it because it makes me feel fully alive.
I use vibrant colour, texture, line and shape.
