I am a mixed media artist with a lifelong passion for both inland and coastal countryside.

 

Relocating from Cornwall to Gloucestershire in 2010, my inspiration remains firmly rooted in nature and landscape. I paint with inks,  watercolour and acrylics as well as hand painting or mono printing found papers and maps for collage. Working from my studio on the edge of Minchinhampton Common, I am surrounded by inspiration. I get out and explore our much-loved landscape; walking the cow-lines and paths to find different viewpoints to the familiar places that are woven into our lives.

 

My childhood was spent outdoors with plants, animals and landscape. I have grown up walking the land and exploring nature - this is my ikigai. With a keen interest in natural and cultural heritage as well as ecology, these themes drive my creative processes and bodies of work.

 

I exhibit in group and solo shows but also enjoy delivering creative collage workshops to local schools, community groups and at times, Westonbirt Arboretum.

 

You can find my greeting cards stocked in these super, independent shops: Made in Stroud, Handmade in Painswick and Amberley Shop on the Common.

​

Currently I am working towards my next solo exhibition exploring rural and urban views of the Stroud Valleys. This will be held towards the end of 2026. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram and watch my new work develop as I walk and explore the Stroud Valleys.
