I’m an Oxfordshire artist, living close to the beautiful and inspiring White Horse at Uffington. I work from my own studio and love welcoming visitors into my space for exhibitions and open studios. I am largely self-taught and work in many media, mainly oil paint and cold wax, acrylic and chalk. 

I am fascinated by the boundaries, borders and edges found in the landscape and my work often references this liminal space. The point between realism and abstraction, where shapes and marks create fleeting impressions of a subject.  Misty morning and flooded fields capture my attention and the colours of autumn are never far from my palette.

I find most of my work is inspired by these natural elements. Layering paint and wiping sections away reveal the spaces as if mists are swirling, causing the landscape to appear and disappear. I mostly work wet on wet, colour mixing as I go, glazing to create subtle transparent layers.

 I love collecting words from poetry, prose and language that link to my work and often the titles link to the feeling in the piece.
