Artist information

Painting started after a career on the airlines and lockdown forced me to fill my time with something creative. I discovered I had a talent for art after attending a few beginners classes. I have since worked my way through various workshops and masterclasses to become more confident with my work. Although I have experimented with lots of different mediums, oil painting has quickly turned into my passion.

I have since established myself as a portrait artist, which all started with a little project for Artweek 2023, painting the people of Jericho and exhibiting from home. I also love painting still life, inspired by the Dutch artists, collecting various artefacts then putting that vision onto canvas. I recently tried my hand at pet portraits too, having been given the challenge Christmas 2024.       

Painting comes from my heart, an extension of the inner being, consciousness and emotions are applied to canvas.  I find my inner critic  unreasonable at times, although  it’s often in these moments of doubt that I produce the most authentic pieces of art. I embrace the process, after all, we artistic creatures are known for being sensitive souls. When I am not in my studio, I also enjoy cycling, cooking and practising yoga.
