Artist information

I live in a lovely part of the world in Oxfordshire on the edge of the Cotswolds. My journey in art began more years ago than I’d like to count, and over time, I’ve found myself diving headfirst into the wonderful world of painting, screen printing, also using mixed media, and this year I have been exploring using Geli printing with stencils and collage to create new work.

I have been an artists since 2007 and explored, experimented, discovering many different techniques and processes of creating my art. That has been my passion, to search different ways to create an image. By using my instincts and intuition, I love the process of exploring the image as the piece comes together, sometimes in the most unexpected way, whether it’s a landscape or view from my imagination. It’s putting my interpretation on my work.

Exhibition information

What really excites me is the endless exploration of different media and techniques. From layers of acrylic paint to stencilling and collage and using Geli printing as another form of printing. I find joy in all forms of mark-making. Each piece I create is a unique adventure, guided by my instincts and intuition. It’s as though the artwork has a mind of its own, often developing in unexpected and delightful ways. My work is continually evolving.

For me, art is all about the journey experimenting and learning new techniques keeps my practice fresh and exciting. There’s an incredible joy in exploring and playing with different techniques and I love how each method can bring its own interpretation to my work. It’s this experience of creating and viewing the work makes art truly magical. My aim is to infuse every piece with my personal interpretation, making each one a distinct expression of an idea. My works reflect a passion for exploring mark making and using various mediums, creating a diverse and striking visual collection.

Thanks for stopping by to learn a bit more about me and my artistic journey. I hope my work inspires you to come to meet and talk to me in the lovely St Michaels church in Aynho, from the 16th May through to the 20th of May.
