I'm a self-taught artist post leaving school.
Art is something I came back to during my own wedding prep and then again when expecting my first child. Although now a mum to two busy girls, I have not looked back.
I started with wedding fingerprint posters and went on to designing my own, ever-growing, animal alphabet (which is great for baby gifts!).
I have always kept my hand in but during this last decade I have tried to paint the things that bring me joy. Things from my life, the countryside or animals. I have created also things for nursery walls for all to enjoy along with my name art. In my non-illustrative works, I apparently highly favor interesting light and long for more travels to paint even more interesting light!
I take commissions for work from everything from pet portrait to murals and name art to wedding artwork. Whilst still finding a bit of time for creating the things I like .... mainly birds, animals, flowers, and landscapes. I favor watercolor on smooth (not) or hot press watercolor paper but also love acrylics. I enjoy pastels, pencil, and resin work too.
I have a varied portfolio and on occasion I use digital amplification to enhance artwork for prints or to make surface pattern designs.
