I love to paint all subjects using a bright and bold rainbow of colour to create artworks that make you smile!

I am know for my bright bold and colourful animal art and animal portraits which I have been painting for 11 years. This year I have explored a bit of a challenge and a bit of a change to my usual work! I've been thinking of new ideas and wanted to introduce an element of recycling into my work. I am currently working on ideas to produce moving pieces created from the aluminium coffee pods, each piece is a one off unique artwork that gently tinkles and moves in a slight breeze. Some pieces are abstract, others continue with an animal theme tying in with my previous work.
I've also been working on a series of disco balls! I love anything that is glittery or sparkly and wanted to explore how to paint something with a sparkle without actually using metallic paints. I love the 80's and the disco vibe and have become completely hooked painting these disco balls for your walls. I dabble in mixed media and love all types of making. I am extremely fortunate to have a beautiful garden studio to work in and have my dog and cat to keep me company.
