My work is inspired by nature and the changing seasons. I enjoy exploring the meadows, woodlands and waterways in and around Oxford, observing subtle seasonal shifts, recording colours and textures through photography, and finding moments of quiet away from the noise of everyday life.

Through painting and photography, I reflect on time, memory and the feelings that certain places and moments can hold. I am drawn to the rhythms and patterns found in nature, which weave connections throughout my work.

I approach my painting practice with curiosity, allowing each piece to evolve naturally while embracing simplicity and imperfection. The process becomes a gentle dance between the subject, the materials and the present moment.

For me, art is an invitation to slow down and notice the beauty in everyday life. I hope my paintings and photographs offer a sense of calm and create space for quiet contemplation.

Education:

After graduating in 1996, I spent nineteen years working in management across the arts, retail and education sectors. Previous roles include Head of Operations and Visitor Services at Modern Art Oxford and Team Leader of Personal Shopping at Selfridges, London.

In 2015, I followed my creativity into a new chapter as an EMCC accredited coach and content creator, combining writing, styling, photography and blogging. Since 2024, my focus has been on painting, creating abstract and semi-abstract works in oil and acrylic.

I’ve been featured in publications, including Houzz, Your Home and 91 Magazine. I have also written and photographed for Breathe, Reloved, Mollie Makes, among others, and collaborated with brands including Etsy, Panasonic Lumix and Great Western Railway.
