I always loved art, creating things with my hands.

Moving to Brighton from London in 2008 marked a turning point for me creatively, and led to copious amounts of paintings, exhibitions {sometimes}, my blog and now a book and Creative Spark Sessions.

I like to investigate all sorts of media and techniques, but my favourite is mixed media for its layers and textures. I often use combinations of papers, stamps, pens, pencils, oil pastels, charcoal and paint glazes. I love the idea of hidden or partly obscured elements, drawing you in as you step closer to see the details. I also like to use text in my paintings; words and their different uses and meanings continually intrigue me and I often like to include them as another layer to each piece.

As a Reiki master I am increasingly interested in incorporating healing into my work, something which is evolving the more I work with energy. I usually work intuitively, allowing a painting to tell me what it needs without any formal planning.

I place great emphasis on the aesthetic impact of each finished piece as well as its meaning; of course each painting has a personal meaning to me, but I hope that you as the viewer will enjoy it in whatever way satisfies you most.

I happily take commissions so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Have a look at my commissions page for further information

I sell my work here, from the shop page, and also through my shop on Etsy, which is currently the place to purchase smaller original works, prints and cards.

Negotiations are possible on available work. If you love a painting we can make it yours.
