Exhibition information

My landscapes are imaginary and inspired by the expansive terrain of the Scottish Highlands and the undulating valleys of South Wales, which is my heritage. My watercolour landscapes incorporate collage from books that have meaning to me, I often use these to inspire the names of my paintings, and I add marks using stitching and other materials.

I am drawn to the natural world as inspiration across all my work, which also includes British wildlife, loose floral watercolours, painted paper collage, textiles, poetry and cyanotypes.  Not only is the natural world my inspiration, but it also has provided me with comfort and grounding throughout my life, particularly during difficult times. I combine a contemporary approach honouring quiet elements of the earth, land and skies which existed long before us.

Artist information

I’m an artist inspired by the hills of Wales, the majestic Scottish Highlands and Islands, and the British weather. I paint imagined landscapes, seascapes and British wildlife in watercolour, and work with painted paper collage, cyanotypes, poetry and textiles. I live in the Wye Valley, work for the NHS and sell my work across the country.
