Welcome

Me.jpg

I am landscape artist based in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire.   My main fascination is with trees and part of my work is exploring the current and historical relationships we have with woodlands.  Having always lived near ‘the woods’, I have been fascinated by arboreal stories, both ancient, mythical and personal.  As a child I created fairylands and hideaways, as an adult I wander through ancient woods, copses and forests, discovering space to reflect, noticing patterns and stories, breathing in the smells and occasionally hugging a friendly tree.

I am represented by several galleries including Clifton Fine Art in Bristol and my work can be found at Affordable Art Fair Battersea and Hampstead most years.  I also work with publishers, Museums and Galleries, to create cards and stationery products.

 

I curate a regular annual group exhibition in Henley on Thames, Connected, expanding soon with a second exhibition in Harrogate.  In addition to exhibitions I take commissions both from interior designers, such as Lindi Reynolds, and to private clients across the UK.

I also run workshops and painting courses in South Oxfordshire and have written articles for art magazines. 

I am also on an upcoming programme on Sky Arts.....

Landscape Artist of the Year 2024

I'm thrilled to be participating in Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year 2024.  My episode is the first one of the season, showing on January 10 at 8pm on Sky Arts (Free to view).

It was an amazing July day, our chosen scene was Dunnottar Castle in Stonehaven, Aberdeen and we were really lucky it was glorious weather.  I even got sunburned!

With not a tree in sight, painting the Castle was a challenge and I was pleased with the final result - I'm not allowed to show my painting from the day until after the episode has been shown, at which point I will pop it online.

An amazing experience!
