Mother Nature

I have always loved nature, every aspect of it! So, it’s natural for me to want to paint what I love. I am by no means a photo realist, my work is a combination of contemporary and fine art. Bodies of work have included birds, bush and figurative. My new series of work incorporates all of these as I feel they all belong together. Consciously or not, we search for what isn’t there and we want to know more.

Over the last few years I have found myself completely immersed in a world of creativity. Having lived in Africa and Australia I am influenced by fauna, flora and the beautiful landscapes and surrounds. I have always loved nature, every aspect of it. I find it energising as an artist to explore and study what I paint and to get to know the subject in as much detail as possible. It’s natural for me to paint what I am naturally drawn to.

My work is about the realisation that we all belong together. We are all connected and one can not do with out the other, a world in bright harmonious balance.

Using a rich, energetic colour pallet I love to experiment with acrylics, ink, charcoal, pencil and mixed media, using varying techniques and multiple layers within my paintings.

Strongly inspired by the beauty of nature, my paintings are a response expressed in colour, depth and movement which come from my exceptionally beautiful surrounds, both in its simplicity and complexity, this resonates in my versatile painting techniques.
