Hello.
I’m a British artist living and working in West Sussex. I studied art foundation in Brighton, followed by a gap year before university which turned in to a gap decade before having children. I travelled the world and worked in the charity sector. After having my first child I picked up my brushes again. A friend bought my first painting while it was still drying.
I continued to experiment with mixed media with a big focus on PLAY and discovered my love of collage, colour and gold leaf.
I have exhibited across West Sussex, Hampshire, London and Brighton.
My art revolves around my love and connection with the ocean and sea swimming. Through my pieces I aim to capture the joy within the waves and the feeling of freedom and connection to nature that comes with swimming in open waters.
I use recycled and collected vintage papers and Indian rag paper to create my collages and acrylic, watercolour and Indian inks in my paintings.
I showcase my work throughout the year locally in West Sussex and Hampshire and my work can be seen in PO10 in Emsworth, Artisans Gallery in Chichester, Peer Studios in Ventnor, The Huts Emsworth and Green Door Centre in Bosham. Ever year I open my studio for two weekends for the Chichester Open Studios. I can set up home viewings on request and occasionally do open studio sales from my home studio.
I happily take commissions so if you have an idea for something you’d like me to create please get in touch! We’ll discuss in fine detail and I’ll work hard to make something beautiful that you will treasure.
