I hope that you enjoy browsing through these pages.

Although originally from London, I moved to Kent 5 years ago with my husband, daughter and son, and have now been painting professionally for the last 2 years. I prefer to work from my own photographs, simply because the lens can often capture a fleeting moment along with great memories personally. This makes a good foundation upon which to build your painting and makes it very emotional to the painter.

My favourite subject to paint is purely anything organic. I enjoy painting wildlife immensely, and if I can help to raise conservation awareness through my artwork then this is very satisfying. I cannot imagine a world without birds, so I teach myself about each bird through painting them. We enjoy visiting English landscapes and buildings of interest, as well as abroad. The world is an amazing place and so is it's natural wildlife. We gained our passion obviously from David Attenborough and his programs, they are compulsive viewing in our house!

I normally use oils as a medium, because I like the thickness of the oil paint and the way that it moves around the canvas. My style has a very bold quality to it and is recognisable through each work.

My website will be updated quarterly, so that you can see my finished commissioned work and also work for sale, so please come back and visit again.

Thank you for browsing,
