I am an artist based in the Cotswolds. My paintings are distant, tranquil observations of land, sky and water. Using grounds of velvet, I use diffused layers of dyes, inks and pastels to enrich the surface, adding depth and exploring how light falls on linear forms in the landscape throughout the changing seasons. Some of my works are embellished with a highlight of gold to add to the optical richness.

I also like to explore my observations of landscape through my collagraph and dry point printing, cutting away surfaces or creating textures to build up printing plates based on landscape layers.  I use dry point techniques and Lino cuts to create print editions and unique greeting cards. 

I am a member of Stroud Artists Cooperative and have enjoyed meeting fellow artists, and exhibiting in a variety of exhibitions and art fairs.
