Primarily a painter, my work ranges from abstract mixed media landscape and collage to expressive watercolours and drawings. My work is sensory, capturing the feeling and memory of a garden, a landscape, a place. Using line and repetition, I often paint from life in my garden at home and the RHS garden at Wisley, working within the rhythm of the seasons. I'm drawn to strong colours, but always choose a limited palette to reflect the subject and time of year. Informed by my background in publishing and my Foundation at UCA Farnham, my work often has a strong graphic element.

I plant my garden with vibrant nasturtiums, sculptural anemones and scented lemon trees that inform my work and inspire my palette.
