​

I take inspiration from nature, sometimes painting in a more realistical style and at others more abstract and intuitive- but each painting always evolves rather than being planned out.

I love the evening light and night-time and most of my paintings include a full golden moon framing wildlife. I love hares especially- there is so much mythology around them, my favourites being that they are goddesses and shapeshifters. They are solitary creatures and live by the moon- how they feel and behave is affected by the phases of it.

​

I try to show the beauty and gentleness in all animals- even those that some see as a pest or a problem such as with my sleepy little foxes. I use acrylic and oil paints, gold leaf and foils- the reflections, shadows and luminous qualities of which add another dimension to my work.

​

I have my own studio and shop that is open while I'm there painting or by appointment- please just get in touch before you come and I will make sure I'm there. It's situated at The Ostrich Inn, Stocks Green, Castle Acre. Its a 17th century building so there are are steps in to access so if this causes you issues please just get in touch and we can arrange another way to view my work. I have my original paintings to view and for sale along with prints of my work. I also have chainsaw carvings by Matt Colman and hand carvings by Ronnie Colman for sale there.

 

I have shown my paintings in local galleries, at local exhibitions and art fairs and have been successful in selling my original work as well as taking commissions. Please take a look at my online shop page or pop in to my studio.
