About

After studying Illustration at Falmouth College of Arts I worked as an illustrator, followed by a career as a graphic designer for consumer magazines in London before returning to painting after my children started school. I live in Berkshire, UK with my husband and two sons working from my studio as an oil painter.

My paintings are inspired by the strong connection I have to the countryside and coast, having grown up in rural Dorset. I still return to this area regularly, and also love to travel with my family to gather new ideas.

I paint peaceful and atmospheric landscapes and seascapes in a realistic style. As well as incorporating elements of detail, my scenes are often kept simple to evoke a feeling of calm. I aim to create paintings that feel fresh and tranquil, offering the viewer a moment in which to lose themselves.
