My art is all about using colour to bring out the beauty of the world around us. My painting are created using different techniques, I love to experiment and am continually learning new techniques, I have painted in oils, acrylics and pastels for many years, with a variety of subjects. I was a member of the Bedfordshire Artists Network for many years until we moved here to Northamptonshire and have exhibited my collection of nude figures at the Gascoigne Gallery in Harrogate in their ‘Starkers’ exhibition. Recently I have been using fluid art techniques to create flowing backgrounds to my paintings, using acrylics to bring out the colours of seas and sunsets.
I split my time between painting and silversmithing using recycled silver and natural gemstones. My designs are usually simple, flowing or hammered shapes that show the gemstones to their best against the lovely glow of polished silver.
