I have a love for colour, contrast and texture, and endeaavour to create paintings which realise the analogy between colour  and nature along with personal mood and  identity. For example, 'My Dress' (painting above) evokes  the wonderful blue palette of the material of a favourite dress where the blues remind me of  seas and skies and the greens of grass ; both depicted in my mind as a memory of a happy sunny day wearing said dress!

I am now retired and have found time to create my own original and unique pieces of art .  I have happily re-discovered the pleasure of dipping a brush or palette knife into  paint in an assortment of wonderful colours, and adding them to a canvas.

Art has been part of my own biography since my first 'Art Appreciation' lesson at the tender age of 8 years old!  I draw inspiration from frequent gallery visits locally, nationally and internationally,  from the environment around my home on the edges of Suffolk and Norfolk and ultimately,from my own personal growth, the ever changing elements of my own identity and the all embracing love of family and friends.
