Welcome to my website, where you can find out all about me and my painting life. 

I'll be out and about painting in Wales, Cornwall and Scotland this year, and continuing to develop my new Semi Abstracts in the studio.

I've got a huge show in summer, (see details below) - watch this space... you're all invited

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

 I work expressively and intuitively directly onto linen canvas in oils, often en plein air using a wide variety of painterly colourist techniques.

Paintings are built up with layers of gestural mark making, juxtaposing subtle and saturated colour, accented with passages of impasto brush work, palette knife and sgraffito textures. 

I work en plein air whenever possible so I can respond directly to the spirit and atmosphere of a place.  Recent locations include the Cornish Coast, the Yorkshire Dales,and Snowdonia. 

Back in the studio, the finished painting often leads to other more semi abstract developments.

Extensive world travel has led to my interest in ethnic and cultural subjects such as celebrations, festivals and the observation of women in society, so I was delighted to be selected for the Biennial WOMEN IN ART FAIR at the Mall Galleries last October. (see above).

Here's a sample of a few of over 200 plein air watercolours and oils  done on location, being developed for publication soon with accompanying amusing anecdotes. See in my blog for a few further examples.
