My love of abstract painting has developed during the course of a Fine Art degree at Norwich University of the Arts, Norfolk where I discovered the freedom this particular process offered.

This exciting return to my 'first love', that of making art, began in 2017 when I took an art foundation course at City College, Norwich when my son started school. It revived a thirty year longing to be an artist during which time I worked in the insurance and financial service industries, the third sector and became a hard-working entrepreneur with two florist shops.

I now have the opportunity to explore my creativity through an artistic career, principally as a painter. My work currently focuses on intuitive expressive art through abstract painting however my daily inspiration continues to be the forms, rhythms and textures found within the natural world whether these are expressed through drawing, painting or 3D forms.

I am privileged to enjoy a home in a unique and magical woodland nestled within the verdant Norfolk countryside which continually prompts my curiosity. Every day I am surrounded by nature with the opportunity to observe the changing seasons and its impact on the environment.

My fascination with colour and texture stems from my wonder at the natural world.
