I am a landscape artist based in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. My main fascination is with trees and part of my work is exploring the current and historical relationships we have with woodlands. Having always lived near 'the woods', I have been fascinated by arboreal stories, both ancient, mythical and personal. As a child I created fairylands and hideaways, as an adult I wander through ancient woods, copses and forests, discovering space to reflect, noticing patterns and stories, breathing in the smells and occasionally hugging a friendly tree.
I am represented by several galleries including Clifton Fine Art in Bristol and my work can be found at Affordable Art Fair Battersea and Hampstead most years. I also work with publishers, Museums and Galleries, to create cards and stationery products. I was recently shortlisted for The British Art Prize and I am on the upcoming Landscape Artist of the Year as a heat contestant.
In addition to exhibitions I take commissions both from interior designers, such as Lindi Reynolds, and to private clients across the UK.
I curate a regular annual group exhibition in Henley on Thames, Connected, expanding soon with a second exhibition in North Yorks.
I run workshops and painting courses in South Oxfordshire and North Yorkshire and have written articles for art magazines including Leisure Painter.
