Bio

Since childhood I always loved to paint and draw, but events took me down a different path. However later life gave me the chance to join a number of local art societies with organised events where my pictures could be displayed. I currently hold the status of Exhibiting Member with two local societies and regularly exhibit close to home in both Winchester and Farnham.

I feel intimate contact with my feelings and emotions around being a woman. The stages in our lives that we all go through, including the waxing and waning of happiness through the years. Feelings that are particularly difficult to articulate in the modern world where the pressures of just “Being” are so great. In the society of Social Media, of “Clicks” and “Likes”, some feelings and opinions cannot even be spoken about directly, particularly those from the darker side of life. But every woman will understand me, and my pictures can be interpreted by the observer to see what she wants to see, and even what she needs to see in her own situation.

We all wish to be individual, yet we are all so similar. None of us is alone, and we all travel through life with similar dreams, similar goals and similar fears. My latest collection, “Facial Geometry” demonstrates the fractious feelings that we all face as women in the world today, but we will all ultimately find our own way through life’s difficulties towards the light side.

credo

I feel a need to transfer images of the natural world to paper or canvas and watercolour became my first assistant on this creative path. Later I had the desire to try my hand at oils and more recently I have moved through texture paste and resin art ending in modern three-dimensional painting. My paintings are more realistic than abstract, but I attempt to combine classical and abstract styles in anything I create. I believe the marriage works, and I truly hope that others feel the same when they view the results.
