Hello, and thank you for visiting!
I live in the beautiful Kent countryside, where I work from my home studio. I paint mainly in oils, often layered over acrylics, and sometimes incorporate mixed media. My inspiration comes from the landscapes and objects I love—especially the coastlines and countryside that surround me.
Painting for me is a blend of challenge, experimentation, and satisfaction. It gives me immense joy and has taught me to see the natural world with fresh eyes. I paint most days, and it always feels like a creative reset—an opportunity to explore colour, texture, and form in new ways.
And, as you’ll see, I occasionally indulge in a vibrant floral piece or a portrait just for the sheer joy of it!
One of the greatest rewards is seeing someone connect with a piece I’ve loved creating. I hope my art reflects the passion and energy I bring to every brushstroke.
I sell my work through private commissions, local exhibitions in Kent and Sussex galleries, and the annual Art in June Open Studios programme. Each piece is framed in a wooden frame made in my studio.
