About my work

 

Sitting out in the landscape and describing it in pencil and watercolour is still the most sustaining part of my working life, and an experience I hope others recognise in the finished work.

​

Although I work across printmaking and painting, everything begins with drawing. I walk the fields and hedgerows recording what I see in sketchbooks, or gather small fragments — stems, seedheads and fallen feathers — to develop into original prints and paintings.

​

My work reflects a wish to slow down, to notice seasonal change, and pay attention to the quieter, often overlooked details of the natural world. Through these images I hope to offer moments of stillness and reconnection within everyday life.

​

​​I have exhibited in galleries in North Norfolk, Norwich and London and my work has been shown by The Society of Women Artists, The Society of Graphic Fine Art and The Society of British Artists. I have been featured in various publications, including Homes and Gardens, Creative Countryside and Artists and Illustrators and in books such as Wings Over Water  and The Book of the Raven.​​​​​​

​

​Original paintings and handmade prints are available through my shop. If a particular piece resonates with you, or you would like to ask about interest-free payments, framing, or availability, you are very welcome to get in touch via my contact page - I am always happy to help.​
