I’m a UK artist based in Oxfordshire working primarily in oils; I love the messiness and versatility to alter a painting as it evolves. My work is figurative and inspired by the world around me; garden flowers, light through coloured glass, a fleeting expression. 

I paint to bring missing things to life. During Covid I began portraiture to see more faces. My still lifes often feature a forgotten heirloom. I capture low winter sunlight on those rare days when light is scarce, and colourful flowers during winter months.

My colour palette is bold, vivid and aims to capture optimism and joy.

I’m a full-time artist and teacher from Abingdon. I have shown in several exhibitions in the beautiful West Ox Gallery in Bampton, and exhibit twice a year with Abingdon Artists. In 2025 my work was selected for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition in the Mall Galleries, London. I teach oil painting at home.
