Biography

I am a landscape artist who also paints gardens and flowers. My chosen medium is acrylic although I sometimes use a mix of paint, paper, pencil or anything else that comes to hand. I work from life, often outdoors and like to have music playing when I do so. The landscape and the music combine to push the brush and to influence my choice of colour palette.

I exhibit nationally, although mostly in the North. I am currently the Artist in Residence at the Village Bakery in Melmerby. I have been a regular participant in the Northumbrian Art Tour.

I started as an illustrator but retrained as a painter since I wanted to be able to decide what I painted for myself. I work with my husband Paul, who prints my work and that of other artists. Together we make and sell giclee prints and greetings cards.
