My work is inspired by nature, home and the landscape of the UK. I enjoy exploring the countryside, stopping to take photographs of a beautiful view, an interesting tree or a little cottage nestled in the hills to later use as reference and inspiration in the studio.

I’m told that my paintings have a strong sense of narrative and feel peaceful and nostalgic. I often say, “I paint where I would like to be”.

For many years I worked in acrylic, occasionally using watercolour or gouache for smaller paintings. I made the decision in the autumn of 2020 to begin experimenting with different media and to push myself out of my creative comfort zone! I now also use coloured pencils, pens and pastels, sometimes combining them with paint to create mixed media pieces alongside my usual paintings. I enjoy the process of layering the different materials, slowly building colour, texture and detail and never really knowing where the journey will take me. I’m also working in my sketchbooks more often and I’ve found that they’re the perfect place to discover new techniques and colour palettes.

I enjoy sharing many different aspects of my art practice with my followers online through long format videos on YouTube and regular posts on Instagram.

I design and make kiln fired glass gifts which are available through my online shop, select retail outlets and galleries.  I also teach glass making classes from my studio “Seabird" in the heart of the Norfolk countryside.

I graduated, aged 21, from Art School (Three Dimensional Design specialising in Silversmithing and Jewellery).  My teaching career took me to a full time post at world renowned Eton College. During the eleven years at Eton I specialised in teaching silversmithing and jewellery courses as well being a personal tutor on Eton summer schools and becoming co-director for the Brent Eton Summer School.

I love living in Norfolk and Balham, south London.  My studio in rural Norfolk is not too far from the sea.  I am forever drawn to the tranquil colours found on the coast, especially frosted sea glass found on beach walks. The beautiful simplicity of Scandinavian design and folk art has long been the inspiration for my glass birds and winter decorations.
