I am  an abstract and mixed media artist using a variety of different substrates, paints, inks and tools to create unique pieces of art that lift my spirits and bring me joy.

​

Colour is always at the heart of my paintings, the thing is, I love colour!  and the way colours compliment and harmonise with each other.  I try to include quiet areas so that the viewer can rest a while and observe the textures and then move on to areas of contrast with interesting marks and shapes.

​

I often include collage and pattern to add glimpses of interest under the layers of paint, adding history to each piece and incorporating scratches, lines and scuffs; its a bit like an old piece of furniture that's rough and worn with age that's been repainted again and again.

​

Having previously painted representative pieces in watercolour, this is a big change for me.  But wow, it has certainly reignited a new found love of painting.  Having shaken off my previous constraints and tossed away the worry that I had about my art,  instead I embrace the sheer joy of creating something I love with the passion for self expression.  

​

I hope the viewer can see the energy and passion in my work and feel something that resonates  with them.
