“Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it”

Mary Oliver

My paintings are mostly described as contemporary, vibrant, textured and emotive .

They are colourful , expressive and always inspired by real life.

I am very influenced by fleeting moments that touch me with their beauty, ordinary everyday living that can suddenly feel extraordinary, joy and appreciation of simple things, nature, moments shared and memories.

With an appreciation for composition, form and the power of colour , I paint what resonates with me across subjects, styles and seasons , trusting that what’s honest will connect.
