Particularly influenced by abstract art, expressionism and Fauvism, I enjoy experimenting with colour and contemporary portraiture. My paintings are vibrant and unapologetic and usually feature florals or faces! I love working with oils, acrylics and pastels and I'm inspired by bright, bold images. I never quite know what a painting will be when I start out, I only know when it's done.

I'm self-taught; painting whenever there's time in between teaching and being a mum, so usually at night when my kids are asleep!
