Hello and WELCOME to my online creative studio!
I've loved creating art for as long as I can remember.
With the birth of my daughter came the opportunity to combine my artistic ability with my inner child. Observing her spontaneous creativity ignited a passion for combining art and play.
I delight in the discovery of new textures and mixed media processes. I believe our thoughts influence our lives and often look to combine my art with inspiration.
In my Gallery and Shop you will find whimsical characters, far away places and intuitive abstracts. All original designs by me.
Underlying my art is a passion for authentic expression, colour and creativity. My love affair with art and all things creative began at an early age. My first creative inspirations were Hollywood musicals and artists from the the Impressionism and Post Impressionism era. Further inspirations have been gathered over the years via my travels and experiences of different cultures.
I paint intuitively. My process is one of building up layers of colour and texture with watercolours, acrylic paint and ink. I work with a combination of thick and transparent layers of colour often allowing the foundation layers to show through.
I like to experiment and play and believe it’s the quirks and imperfections in the art that add sincerity, depth and value to my work. My paintings are often characterized by a mixture of colours, splashes, drips and have a luminous quality.
I believe the process of creating is important and rewarding to me. Life is much more fulfilling when we are in regular touch with our creative source. I create because I feel compelled to and love to share this passion with others.
