Hampshire Artist and Printmaker

I take my inspiration from seeing beauty in the ordinary and everyday, sometimes stylising and abstracting what I see.  

A qualified teacher and working artist with a ‘portfolio’ career, combining teaching and my own creative practice.  

Abstract Paintings and Contemporary Printmaking

The use of bold, vibrant colours in my work and pattern always play an important role. Expressive and Intuitive Paintings complement experimental printmaking techniques of linocut, woodcut, collagraph and screen-printing techniques.

All artworks available in the store are original paintings and handprinted limited edition prints.

Buoyant – Original Abstract Painting

Acrylic on Canvas | 60 x 60 cm | £395

Buoyant is an original acrylic painting on canvas and the first in a new series marking a significant new direction.

“Buoyant is the first in a series of paintings that began during a significant new direction and is now a statement piece that is paving the way for what follows…”

With confident scale and layered movement, this piece signals momentum and creative expansion. It carries both lightness and presence — a painting that feels lifted yet grounded.

High Tide – Original Abstract Painting

Acrylic on Canvas | 50 x 50 cm | Deep Edge | Sold

High Tide is an original acrylic painting on deep-edge canvas, shaped by environment, movement and emotional journey.

“My environment influenced and shaped the journey of this painting… it has travelled a long way with me, both literally and metaphorically, and I am happy we reached this final destination. It is a good place to be.”

Layered textures and evolving marks reflect the rhythm and pull of the sea — a sense of transition, movement and arrival.
