My semi-abstract textural paintings use bold colour and shapes to hint at both natural and man-made landscapes. Through a purely intuitive approach multiple layers of paint are manipulated, scraped back, built on again using a wide range of media;  you can feel and see a sense of history in each piece often with glimpses of repeated words & motifs.

I paint using oils mixed with cold wax medium, some paintings include an Encaustic underpainting using a hot wax technique; I embed collage, use sgraffito techniques, crayons and oils sticks.

Biography:

I attended the Malvern School of Art in 2016 - a year that would change the direction of my life. Previously employed by the BBC in London as a Sports Producer, I returned to Gloucestershire to raise my two daughters. Feeling the need to regain a sense of self I enrolled on an Art Diploma at Malvern. I am a member of the farOpen Artists’ group and take part in their annual Art Trail, opening up my May Hill studio to visitors for nine days in July. I also run Encaustic workshops. This year’s Open Studio & Art Trail takes place from July 6-14th.
