“The emotional impact of nature and power of colour to impart that is central to my practice. Contemporary painters such as; Gillian Ayres, Howard Hodgkin, Elizabeth Blackadder, Mary Fedden, and Ivon Hitchens are an inspiration. Observed in the field and completed in the studio, my paintings become a hybrid between the real and imagined, the seen and the felt. I work on up to seven pieces at a time. Each collection contains both Landscapes and semi-abstract Florals, whose styles and methods inform and complement each other. Art Foundation at York Art College was followed by a BA in English & Media and postgraduate training in Art Therapy. I worked for many years in Community Arts including mental and physical health and was Artist in Residence in the Renal Unit of York Hospital for six years. A self-taught Painter I have been painting for 23 years and exhibit widely. I have worked in public and private collections at home and abroad.”
