Hi, I am an Artist, living and working in Hampshire in the UK. I work in pencil, pen, ink, gouache, watercolour, and in ceramics. I often work at an exquisitely small scale, and with a reduced palette, because this feels direct, compelling and intense.

I have exhibited with the Mall Galleries, London (Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours 212th exhibition 2024), Bloomsbury, Bath, Guildford, Portsmouth, Chichester, Petersfield, Havant and Fareham, selling work in the UK, Canada and the USA. I was also lucky enough to be shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Show in 2025.

I am interested in telling little stories. all my pieces have this at their centre. I connect these stories of our lives and our internal and external worlds with the sensory need we have to surround ourselves with distinctive surfaces, images and objects, which speak to us and of us and reveal us visually. I tell myself stories whatever I am looking at, it is in some way how I have made a relationship with my world and this is how I share it.

I create tiny pieces of Ornamental Art, as part of my practice, expanding the reach of and challenging the avenues for exhibiting work and sharing stories, I have been lucky enough to be sent photographs of my work exhibited on Christmas trees around the world.


I love Art, I relish looking at other peoples work and can't imagine a life without the joy of both creating and appretiating.
