An introduction...

Hello,

A very warm welcome to my website, thank you so much for visiting.

Here you will find collections of new, original, abstract artworks that are a vibrant celebration of joy and life, expressed through colour, pattern and texture. Art that enhances and enriches its environment, whether that be a home or a public/commercial space, and which inspires a response in the viewer.

A piece of original art is something personal and unique for you to enjoy every day in your home, it can be restful, evoking peace, it can inspire or energise, and even change atmospheres.

I hope you enjoy browsing and find something that resonates personally with you.

About me:

I am an abstract mixed media artist and painter, loving living by the sea on the south coast of England, and with a training and background in textile design. The textile background influences a primary focus on abstract colour, pattern and texture rather than figurative imagery. Work is created intuitively, with perhaps only an emotion, a colour palette and/or a motif, being the catalyst for inspiration. I am also often inspired by the power of a word or a phrase that may, or may not, end up visible in the finished piece, but which often gives the work its meaning.

Over time I have developed a unique, expressive personal style, incorporating a selective use of mixed media techniques, along with the more traditional paints and glazes. I aim to create work that makes a strong visual statement as a whole, and also has richly layered surfaces full of depth and visual interest close to.

From time to time I blog about current projects, things that inspire me, and give a sneak peek into my process behind the scenes in my studio. Please do sign up to my mailing list for advance notice of blog posts, fairs, exhibitions and new collection releases.

2019 New Year Challenge

This year started with a creative challenge. Like most artists, in my normal practice I often work on multiple pieces at once. Sometimes this is a deliberate strategy to create a cohesive series. Sometimes it is just a necessity to use time productively. Whilst waiting for layers on one piece to dry, I will work…
