I am a painter working in Twickenham, South West London specialising in oil and mixed media on canvas.  I take inspiration from the local area, and enjoy re-creating the plants and wildlife I find in Bushy and Richmond Park or along the Thames riverside.

I am influenced by art and design from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s and collect ceramics from this period.  I take motifs from pottery and alter the scale and colours to create retro wallpaper patterns and rug designs. The rooms I paint are part imagined and partly the places I knew as a child. With a parent in the services, I had lived in 13 houses by the time I was 5 years old, and find it satisfyingly nostalgic to re-visit these rooms through painting; to get a sense of the lives that were lived in these spaces.

I specialised in Sculpture in Bristol and worked in animation before moving into teaching.  Now I work full-time as an artist and use paint, wax encaustic and string to build up sculpted areas in my paintings.  I produce quality work and undertake commissions at affordable prices.
