About Me

I returned to art after a successful career in Marketing, and now sell my work through galleries, events and direct sales via Instagram and Facebook

I primarily work in acrylics and mixed media, although I do like to experiment! My paintings are generally abstract with a few still lifes thrown in when the mood takes me.

It’s been a busy few weeks so not much time for painting but I did manage to finish this little one. I wanted to mix up the colour palette a bit as it’s been a bit blue overload recently with my coastal series. Finally got round to updating my website although I have noticed some of the fonts are a bit off so need to sort those out. But as I’m useless with the admin I’m taking this as a win 😊. I’ve been doing a seasonal review and whilst lots of things to be positive about I feel like I need to shake things up. I didn’t fully realise where they paintings came from but then realised just how many photos I had in my reel of seaweed 🤣. Maybe it’s time for a change. Over the past couple of months I’ve been working on some bigger pieces. The last few IG posts have been of paintings 60cm square or bigger so it was a strange fear change to drop down to a 25cm panel. Interestingly the change felt really liberating and creating this more like working in my sketchbook so pressure free.
