Inspiration for a painting can come from a hundred different things. For me it's always about colours how they work together, where they take me to.

A field of flowers, a sunset, a quirky interior or just

light playing on a pool of water.

​

A visit to a flea market, a right good rummage and bingo an old chocolate tin discovered and I'm transported to a salon in Matisse's Provence. 

Nearly always flowers are involved.

​

I work mainly in acrylics on canvas or paper and have played with adding freeform embroidery on top of pictures to add texture and form. Increasingly I like to work on a large scale to create a world you can tumble into'

​

I split my time between England and Kuwait drawing inspiration and being influenced by the diversity of my surroundings

​

I'm also lucky enough to work with the creative team at SOLD studio(UK) a charity that works with adults with learning differences and/or autism helping them  to commercially develop their skills.
