I have always been involved in artistic and creative processes. As a child I was surrounded and encouraged by creative people, which taught me that you can be creative in so many ways. I pursued a career in design which evolved into graphic design and marketing; a career which challenged and stretched me. A mid life change in direction encouraged me to approach my life and career with a more holistic approach which has enabled me to find balance in life.
I now work as a therapist, which I consider to be a creative profession and my art compliments this role, enabling me to practice mindfulness and explore my artistic capabilities. I am inspired by my imagination and my surroundings and I aim to push the boundaries of my creativity by working with different mediums, techniques, canvases and themes. As I reflect on my life and career I recognise a parallel and growth. My work now represents who I have become, it is (as am I) 3 dimensional, full of colour, vibrancy and luminosity. I am proud of this transition and change.
I’m a mixed-media artist based near the beautiful Royal Bushy Park, where I draw endless inspiration from the colours, textures, and shifting moods of nature. My creative journey is rooted in an exploration of texture, colour, and form, often blending abstraction with glimpses of the natural world and its ever-changing landscapes.
A growing part of my practice is experimenting with wood as both a canvas and a collaborator. I love how its grain, warmth, and natural imperfections influence the finished piece, adding depth and individuality to every artwork. From hand-painted wooden miniatures and bookmarks to distinctive one-off pieces, these works celebrate both craftsmanship and the organic character of the material itself.
I’m passionate about making art accessible, offering a variety of smaller, affordable originals that allow more people to bring creativity into their everyday lives. Alongside my wood-based pieces, my collection includes abstract paintings and a curated range of gifts and greeting cards, each echoing the natural textures and colours that inspire my larger works.
You can view my art and craft pieces at various art fairs, craft fairs, and select retail locations. I regularly showcase my work at these events, where you can see and experience each piece up close. Keep an eye out for announcements on upcoming fairs and retail collaborations on my news page.
