I live and paint in my Hythe studio and enjoy painting in many different mediums as it keeps me fresh and ‘on my artistic toes’. I paint using watercolours, acrylics, pen and wash or collage/mixed media. The subjects I cover are landscapes, seascapes, flowers and animals and birds - often quirky ones.  My inspiration is mainly from nature which I am surrounded by living by the sea and having a huge park behind me and a canal 5 minutes away.  I also teach beginners watercolours and acrylics and give collage/mixed media workshops.

I am influenced by Impressionist artists and in particular love the work of ‘The Glasgow Boys’.  I like to think that my art is a combination of the joy of art, inspiration and the magic of creating.

I have been a founder member and treasurer of hART, which is a group of professional artists who put on an annual exhibition at the Tin Tabernacle in Hythe and this year we were delighted to include 16 guest artists.  I am also the membership secretary of Folkestone Art Society and have been very involved in helping to guide it to the excellent place it has in the local art world now.
​
This year I was one of the tiny committee who organised the Hythe Art Trail which raised money for Pilgrims Hospices.
I am working on planning a mixed media collage workshop for Folkestone Art Society which takes place in November.
