Artist information
Colour excites me, grabs my attention and fuels my creativity. I create bold, captivating artwork that catches the eye and fires the imagination. I work quite quickly and instinctively, liberally applying acrylic paint with rubber tipped brushes, painting knives and even kitchen utensils. On close examination of my work reveals mesmerising contours of colour, intriguing marks and undulating textures. My large, abstract expressionist works really need to be seen to be fully appreciated. Alongside my love of colour, the paintings I create in my Worcester studio are influenced by geological formations, West Cornwall’s rich art history and anything that grabs my attention, like a line from a song, an enticing cocktail or a striking pattern on a dress. I want to create paintings that provoke a reaction, arouse curiosity and cause the viewer to pause to take a closer look. My vibrant work is regularly exhibited across the West Midlands and has also been shown in London, Surrey and St Ives. I am an ArtGemini Prize finalist and one of my paintings was in the Society of Women Artists Annual Exhibition in London. I have completed private and public commissions, including bespoke designs for windows in Worcester’s historic former Hop Market Hotel and Jackson, one of the most popular elephant sculptures in Worcester’s Big Parade art trail in 2021. I co-founded Worcestershire Open Studios in 2015 with Sally Morgan and Richard Nicholls. You can see my work in real life here: – The Gallery, Pershore – Abbey Galleries, Tewkesbury – Barbourne Artists’ Spring Exhibition 8-13 May 2026 at The Artery, Worcester and Interplay solo show at Number 8, Pershore 26 November – 16 December 2026.
