I am a self-taught artist originally from Yorkshire, now living and painting in Lincolnshire in the UK. Working largely in acrylic, I paint intuitively. In fact I like nothing more than to turn on my favourite music, close my eyes and make the first mark on a blank canvas... I know that each stroke will inform the next.
Inspired by the places I've been to, the people I've seen, and the many cultures I've experienced during my years as a fashion designer,
my abstracts and abstract landscapes are a joyful, textural, atmospheric reflection of place and space, featuring vibrant, energetic brush strokes and multi-layered passages of collage, paint, ink and charcoal.
I started to paint in earnest during lockdown, and joined the Welland Valley Art Society in 2022, and NROS later in 2023. I have exhibited in the WVAS twice yearly shows since then, as well as placing work in galleries in Stamford, London and West Kirby.
Coming up... my next shared show is with another artist (Jackie Woods) at Stamford Arts Centre in April 2024
