Contemporary Landscape Artist - Creating Abstract and Semi Abstract Paintings 

My Background: Originally from London, I relocated to the beautiful West Country to study Fine Art & Graphics at UWE Bristol where I received The Art In Architecture and The Marie Hullah awards.

Alongside teaching art and craft workshops for adults with mental health issues and learning difficulties, I enjoy creating original artwork in my Bristol and Swineford studios for Exhibition and Sale. 

My Work: I enjoy using a variety of mediums, from oils and acrylics to plasters, varnishes and water based mediums. I find each idea manifests in its own individual style, whether it's of an abstract or more realistic nature, and I relish the journey of creating each individual piece.

My Inspiration

Nature is a huge influence in my work, and I draw a lot of inspiration from the many wonderful walks I take with my golden retriever, Jesse. Landscapes and wildlife are therefore a prominent theme in my pieces, as well as an exploration of colour, movement, light, texture and reflections.
