Hello, and welcome to my website!
Hello and welcome, or welcome back, to my website.
My BIG news is that I am progressing plans for the installation of a separate garden
room/studio at the bottom of the garden which will allow me the creative space to, once again, enjoy painting larger works and able to enjoy that rush of energy I get from staring at a blank canvas whilst knowing that another work of art will, eventually, unfold.
My intention is to have this completed for the start of Spring 2025. The space will be large and flexible enough to enable small classes, occasional solo exhibitions and sales and also participation, once again, in Suffolk Open Studios without the extensive domestic disruption of previous years although the hall, stairs and landing will still remain as a prime exhibition space for many of my completed works for visitors to view and, hopefully, enjoy.
Family
will always come first and therefore my time to paint has been
limited by childminding of my grandchildren over the past couple of
years but I have not completely neglected my artistic side and have
started several new artworks, some of which have been completed and
also been dabbling with watercolours. As usual, my latest works can
be seen under the “what’s new” link and I’ll also put some
images of my unfinished works in the “work in progress” page.
Damage and repairs
Note to anyone in possession of one of my original paintings on canvas: I've added a new page with some comments on damage and/or subsequent repairs so if anyone has a painting that has "gone through the mill" then please look at the page and get in touch
About meMy art is heavily influenced by my surroundings - the beautiful
countryside, villages and people of Suffolk, UK. I have a particular
affinity for animals and my five cats provide
endless inspiration as they play and explore. I also like to experiment with more avant garde abstracts and
architecture, and occasionally like to dabble in sculptural pieces made
from everyday objects, glass and even bone.
I received a BA Hons in Art in 2004, studying as a mature
student whilst bringing up 5 children and looking after the menagerie. Phew!
I
hope you enjoy looking at my work and find something to interest you.
