About the Artist

My fondness of painting started at an early age, I have always been drawn to vivid colours. I draw inspiration from nature, whether that be from a butterflies wing seen whilst walking or an early morning sunrise pondered at the start of the day whilst enjoying my first coffee.

I have studied ‘A’ level art, but I see myself as a self-taught Colourist Artist, colourist painting is the style of art where the colours are the dominant feature of the painting rather than the subject matter. When I get the creative bug and start on a new canvas I typically begin by playing with different colour combinations, experimenting with contrasting colours that pop or perhaps just focusing on one particular colour and blending into different tones. Once I have a colour plan in mind the rest of the picture comes into focus. 

I paint in my spare time when not working or being a mum. I like to take time for myself and relax with yoga or swimming but painting for me is the only therapy that takes me back to my roots. I hope the tranquillity I feel whilst painting shows through my work, if I can bring bring warmth to a room that portrays a positive ambience then my job is complete.
