Biography

Painting is my way into an inner world of colour and light. It completely absorbs me and is an essential part of my life. Seeing my work published in books and greeting cards is always a delight. I don't always know where my art will appear! 

Flowers were my initial inspiration for picking up paint brush but now my focus is wider with landscapes and animals in my repertoire. I create artwork from life or from my own photos but watercolour paintings often acquire a life of their own and evolve in unexpected directions. Over time my work has become more expressive with accidental runs, dribbles and splatters becoming part of the process of creating the final image. All the paintings and art prints are for sale online.

I also happy to take on commissioned artwork . Pet portrait commissions, wedding venue and house portrait commissions have all been among the requests received. I have even painted light aircraft, holes on golf courses and canal boats. Please get in touch if you would like to commission a painting. I am more than happy to discuss your ideas!

If you wish to buy art prints online please click on Galleries at the top of the page and enjoy browsing the art prints online. All are from my original watercolour paintings.

I have had work published by W H Smith, National Trust, Dorling Kindersley and  Laura Ashley to name but a few. I work with Advocate Art agency for illustration work and enjoy being asked to try new subjects for greeting cards, calendars and books.
