Painter, Printmaker
Hailsham East Sussex United Kingdom
My immediate surroundings nourish and inspire my drawings, prints and paintings. I used to live on the cliff edge at Rottingdean absorbing the panoramic skies. It was there I built my first garden and where my love of being outdoors was nurtured.
Now home is the farming community of Herstmonceux with its backdrop of the South Downs and short drive to the Pevensey coast. Walking the hounds, at dawn and dusk, in all weathers through the fields opposite our cottage, I am fascinated by textures, shapes and colours.
At home I find inspiration from our cottage garden and objects that sit on tables and windowsills stirring memories of places and people.
I divide my time between running my Gallery Arts Hut and painting. The Arts Hut Spring, Autumn and Christmas Shows promote home-grown rural art & crafts by 21 local artists & makers, demonstrating the wealth of talent in the region. The Summer Show is a solo exhibition of my paintings and prints, as part of South East Open Studios. I exhibit in venues including farm shops, open houses and galleries across the South East of England and sell from this website. I am a qualified art teacher and have worked in community settings for 16 years.
