Artist information
I am a Professional Pencil Artist working predominantly in professional coloured pencil and graphite. These mediums lend themselves to unique techniques which I can use for tiny details in my work, bringing pieces to life and making you feel like you are really in the outdoors among nature itself. I am particularly inspired by my own walled, cottage garden in a small Worcestershire village, where I can watch the endless activity of the birds among the crammed borders and trees. I am also lucky to have an abundance of beautiful public gardens around me here in Worcestershire to take further inspiration from. My coloured pencil journey started fairly recently following a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis which stopped me following my outdoor photography passion. I realised that there were many people who struggled to see the beauty of our natural world due to disability, so it became my passion to bring bright and vibrant colour to the indoors for everyone to enjoy. My moto is ‘bringing the outdoors, indoors’. I am still very much on an artistic journey having completed a Diploma with the London Art College in 2023, and just finished a two year Diploma with the Society of Botanical Artists SBA to further my skills and knowledge in this subject matter. I have also started to dabble in charcoal drawings which I am loving and hoping to grow over the coming months. I am also a member of the ever growing Feckenham Artisans local group which regularly hold events locally to display, demo and sell our work. My work is available to purchase in two art galleries The Gallery in Pershore and Abbey Galleries in Tewkesbury plus you can always purchase from my website directly, should you wish. If you have any questions, please contact me, I’m always happy to help. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy my work
