I started painting about 8 years ago. I am a member of Abingdon Artists and have exhibited at their Spring and Autumn exhibitions. I am also now a Foundation Student in Art and Design at West Dean College.

I am a mixed media artist of still life and landscape, as well as some abstract works. I am inspired by hills and wild places, including in Yorkshire, Scotland and Cornwall, and some of my work is also influenced by my garden and allotment. I love interactions of colour and have recently become more abstract in my approach, and use brighter colours with collage to add texture and layering.

I generally use acrylic paint with collage and oil pastel, and other mark-making tools, but I also work in oils and cold wax, as well as fabric.
