Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
Edgar Degas
I love to paint pets and botanical scenes, such as gardens.
In painting a pet portrait, I seek to find and show the character of the animal. I find it hugely satisfying recreating the detail in their coat, or the shine in their eyes or nose.
When I paint landscapes I consider my style semi-abstract and impressionistic. In all my work you'll see that colour plays a huge role.
I use mainly acrylic paints, but I also enjoy the looseness of watercolours and inks.
In 2021 I was a Wildcard on the Sky Landscape Artist of the Year programme. It was a real privilege and a fantastic experience to see behind the scenes!

When I paint I try and convey my feelings about a place, or the personality of my sitter.
When portraying landscapes or botanical forms, I often use a semi-abstract style, where colour, movement and texture take centre stage.

Pet Portraits
I thoroughly enjoy painting our furry friends, capturing their likeness with my use of colour and attention to detail. I can work from a good photo, and I am happy to discuss particular features with a client.
