A Colourful Year “Having rolling fields, woodland and the changing colours and seasons on my doorstep is a huge inspiration for me to paint and create. The British landscape is endlessly beautiful and much of my work develops from something catching my eye when out walking- the shapes and colour combinations of branches and leaves, or hedges and fields. I love coming back to my studio to make my own window onto the peace and quiet of the countryside. My aim is that you feel you could step into an autumn morning or spring day straight from the room you’re in.

Texture has always been an important part of my work and after initially using oil paints impasto; I started exploring collage (chine colle) with collograph printmaking, and then brought collage into my paintings.

Working with a mix of media now that incorporates paint, oil pastel, charcoal and collage take every painting in a different direction.

My textile background, and mum’s love of quilt making, led me to use material as part of the collage in my work which creates wonderful strong textural and colour effects as it soaks up and reflects light in a unique way. The quiet areas of my paintings are just as important though, pulling your focus onto the subject that originally captivated me.”
