I’m an Essex based artist, originally from North London, and I work mainly in watercolour alongside oils and other media. My commissions have ranged from landscape and seascape paintings, figurative and portrait paintings alongside a small number of pet portraits. I have sold a number of pieces in art exhibitions, and I continue to exhibit in a range of venues. 

I had a very long break from art during my life where I spent time as a mother and also became very career-focused (I continue to have an alternative career).  However, I had such a huge void and always intended to return to my passion in art, and I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to do that.  I’ve learnt so many new skills through exploratory art, and it has also became a kind of therapy and escape from busy life.  I’m always itching to get back into the art studio and spend time working on my paintings, and have now made sure I sketch (excuse the pun) out time to do this, as it’s such an important part of who I am.  I’m always learning something new every time I paint, which is something I wholeheartedly value, and it keeps the grey matter working hard!  More recently I’ve been painting in oils to complement my skills in watercolour, and I’m so drawn into how the colours blend together so seamlessly and create beautiful art.

You will see from the shop that some of my original paintings are available as Giclée fine art prints now, and this is a great to way to purchase affordable contemporary art, plus I know they are of museum archival quality, and it’s hard to tell the difference from the original watercolour.  I have also found that this has been helpful for customers where the original has already been sold. 

I’m always happy to talk to potential clients about what they would like in their commissions and discuss what I’m able to create, so please do get in touch with me if you want to know more about my work or talk about a potential new commission.
