Thank you for the huge amount of support I had during my exhibition at Dinton Pastures. It's finished now, but I will be back in November 2012.
I want my paintings to gently make you smile and look again. If something makes me stop, think twice and laugh, then I want to capture that and leave a glow behind.
Colour and pattern, not details are my passions; how colours work together, mix, interact; texture and pattern in everyday objects and unexpected places. Negative space fascinates me, though I haven’t resolved how to address it just yet.
I love watercolour for its immediacy, vibrancy and the unpredicted routes it can take you down as the paint mixes on the paper. The range of texture and variation you can achieve with a brush, paint and water are a joy to me.
Having been brought up in Wiltshire, my heart is in the country not town. The animals and flowers I paint are those which grow on my allotment, survive in my garden or live on my imaginary small holding.
