Artist information

Having started with watercolours, I have since branched out into collage, acrylic, sometimes traditional, sometimes less traditional….. I have been participating in Artweeks for quite a few years now, as well as selling at local craft markets. I always try to have a range of pictures on offer, in different mediums (watercolour, acrylic, collage) and sizes, some framed some just mounted. I also have a varied range of limited edition giclee prints and cards of my work. When not painting I enjoy making jewellery from old beads, recycled, and will be selling necklaces and earrings at this year’s Artweeks. 

Exhibition information

This year I have decided to have a theme of Wittenham Clumps – the same subject matter but presented in lots of different styles. There will be traditional watercolours, acrylic versions, pen and wash, collage, possibly even linocuts. The views will differ, too; sometimes a close up, sometimes one hill, sometimes two, in summer, winter…. The permutations are endless! I was partly inspired by Peter Adamson’s brilliant book “Landmarks in Time” (and of course the odd Paul Nash painting!). Alongside the Clumps will be some other local views, scenes of Orkney, and I am still producing collages of Oxford in many different styles. This year, I will also have my jewellery for sale during Artweeks. I love searching for interesting and different old beads, and then giving them a new life mixed with other beads, in necklaces and earrings.
