About the artist

I am a wife, mum, and art addict with 3 cats and a hamster, based in beautiful North Wales. I hail originally from the North East of England.

I have always enjoyed painting and drawing and I joined the MA Fine Art programme at the University of Chester (where I also currently work supporting students in the Careers team) and finished it in 2020.

What’s my art about?

• how we ‘frame’ what others see of us, the private self versus the public, the unseen and unheard, inside/outside, visible-invisible, the stage, and the theatre. Much of this is derived from my own experience of living with daily with persistent pain (Fibromyalgia).

• emotions, bursts of energy, push-pull, and power struggles.

• voices, narratives, and stories - I also support and coach university students to find and tell their own stories.

• traces, layers, memories (sometimes barely remembered/ seen), history, landscape, nature, connection-disconnection, what's beneath the surface, boundaries, marks.

• how each line, form, pattern, and texture disrupts the one beneath it, creating a unique process of discovery.

  Each painting is original and will not be repeated. My original abstract, landscape and still-life paintings are in private collections in the UK and the USA. I love to connect with fellow art lovers, collectors, and artists, so please find me on Instagram.

What I can do for you 

I make my art available for exhibitions. I also provide finished works of art to individual collectors.

• I can help you to consider how to select the right size and colour paintings for the space(s) you have. 

• I can provide art on a rental basis to businesses - give your staff a change of scenery in your offices/ workplaces and show that you’re considering their wellbeing. Rental is UK-only. Contact me for details.

• I can give presentations (online and face-to-face) to universities, artist groups, or other groups who want to hear about my work, processes and life.
