Inspired by the vibrant colours and intricate patterns found in nature and food, my artwork combines a graphic sensibility with the delicate elegance of watercolour painting. Many of the subjects I paint are rooted in personal experiences and  I am especially fascinated by how our senses -taste, texture and smell - can evoke strong memories and emotions.

Currently, I am exploring a form of mono printing called the blotted line technique, originally invented by Andy Warhol. There’s something truly magical about creating a print; it adds a new dimension to my work and often reveals unexpected, intriguing marks. My process begins with a detailed drawing, which I transfer onto tracing paper. This is then hinged onto watercolour paper with masking tape. Using a dip pen and waterproof ink, I trace the lines on the underside of the tracing paper, flip it over, and print. This gradual process introduces texture and spontaneity, giving each piece a unique character,

Drawing plays a vital role in my practice, providing me with the time and space to explore and understand my subjects deeply. I am proud to be a member of The Society of Graphic Fine Art and regularly exhibit my work with them. 

Details of my latest and upcoming exhibitions can be found here.

My original paintings are professionally reproduced into archival quality giclee prints, and cards are available to purchase in my online shop.

A selection of framed prints are also available in person at Rencraft kitchen showroom in Tunbridge Wells and at Kent Cookery School Ashford.

Unframed seafood inspired giclee prints and cards are stocked at Bay Fisheries, The Bolts, Robin Hood’s Bay, Whitby.
