I have loved art since I was a child - always drawing, painting by numbers and modelling with plasticine. Nature has also been a life-long love and influences much of my work.
I paint in acrylics and I make mosaics. My paintings are impressionistic, sometimes tending towards the abstract. They are of landscapes, flowers and trees. I use bold, vibrant colours and thick, textural paint. I work in my studio from photos and sketches, but my paintings develop organically and intuitively. My technique is presently evolving from thrown lines of colour to mosaic-like patches with equal emphasis on positive and negative spaces.
My mosaics are bright and jewel-like. Influenced by nature and often by my paintings, but also from the glass tesserae, beads and broken china that I collect, waiting for inspiration.....
