I am a watercolour and mixed media artist, tutor and demonstrator. I feel incredibly lucky to do something I absolutely love for my job and to also be able to share my love of painting with others.
Living in a small village within the National Forest means I have a constant source of inspiration on my daily dog walks.
I love that my artistic journey isn’t static but is always changing. The things that inspire me to pick up my paintbrush to try and capture a moment or feeling are constantly changing. I enjoy the fact that my inspirations will be different today to those of last week or last year and they in turn are different to what they were the year before that.
Much of my inspiration comes from observing both the large and small changes to the landscape throughout the seasons. It may be the sunlight filtering through the bright spring leaves in a bluebell wood, dragonflies darting around, or simply a flower growing in the hedgerow that catches my eye.
Although each painting begins with an initial idea, I allow this to change and evolve as the painting progresses. I love experimenting with the fluidity of watercolours and inks to create loose flowing marks and contrasting textures.
I’ve always enjoyed sharing with others my love of painting, and in doing so hopefully encouraging others with their own creativity.
I am fortunate to do this in various ways including tutoring weekly adult watercolour classes and workshops, and demonstrating to art clubs and societies. I have also produced online tuition so people can enjoy my tuition in the comfort of their own homes.
