Exhibition information

As a professional artist, I specialize in bringing the enchanting world of animals to life. My work infuses traditional animal art with a burst of modern vibrancy and contemporary flair, creating playful portraits that are sure to make you smile. I have a special fondness for painting various breeds of cattle, but I’m always on the lookout for new animal ideas. Living on the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, I’m surrounded by farm animals and wildlife that provide endless inspiration.
My artistic journey is painted with dazzling, bold, and eye-catching colours. I experiment with both plain and patterned backgrounds, and occasionally venture into monochromatic styles. My creative explorations include crafting a funky disco ball, designing a whimsical 3D can of sardines, and incorporating recycled materials. The beauty of the coast often calls to me, inspiring new ideas and artworks. As long as I’m painting and creating in my garden studio, surrounded by nature and fuelled by fun, I’m in my happy place!
