I am inspired by people and animals. I am interested in the way they behave and their thoughts. My art has taken on a life of its own recently, following a path of exploration into portraiture, wild life and nature, and also different media and combinations of media within one painting. Images of this work can be found in my gallery, as well my Facebook and Instagram pages. Follow me on social media for regular updates to my painting journey
My paintings are mainly in watercolour which will come to you mounted and in a plastic sleeve. I love the freedom I have when I paint with watercolour. Water has a life of its own and I enjoy the slow process of layering up the colours of water to see the final results. Some of my work is in acrylic. I feel less free when I paint with acrylic, and enjoy concentrating on the details.
Prints (a5 and a4) and digital copies (up to a4 size) are available too. I will add these to my Etsy shop soon, or feel free to message me directly, as I am always happy to talk and advise.
I can post straight to you in 1 - 2 days, free postage, if you are within the UK. Times may change if outside the UK and postage cost will apply. I can also post to a different address, if it is for a gift, and add a personalised note for you. Again, just message me with details.
If for any reason you are unhappy with the painting, I will give you a full refund if you can return the painting in the same standard as I have sent it to you, with the secure and protective packing.
If you are interested in having a painting painted for you personally, then please send me a message. I am always looking for more inspiration and ideas for painting, so all suggestions welcome!

Join me every other Monday morning 10am-12pm during the school term and together we'll draw and paint a different animal, and you'll create your own unique piece of art.
For both complete beginners and those looking to either develop their art practice or needing to carve out time in a busy schedule to paint.
These classes are friendly, fun and relaxed.
You will be guided through the 2 hour process to draw and paint your own work of art. All equipment and materials are included and you will take home your painting at the end of each session.
Each session is a stand alone class. However, the more you do, the more you will learn, develop your skills and gain confidence. Skills learned will not only help you paint a variety of different animals but you can use them in all areas of your painting practice.
We will be painting in acrylic paint on canvas, which is vibrant and fast drying. It is one of my favourite mediums to paint with.
Sessions are limited to 10 people at a time, so make sure you book in plenty of time so you don't miss out.
You can either book a single session, which is £20. Or you can pay for 5 sessions in advance and get each session for only £15 each. You have a year to use the 5 sessions.
This is an adult only session.
