Nature evokes in me a magic that I express through my artwork. Inspired in the beauty and magic of nature, intrigued by myths and legends.

From early childhood I have been influenced by the beauty and magic of nature, having grown up in a small village in the Shropshire countryside. I would always want to be outdoors, no matter what the season.

A self taught artist I have always loved to draw and paint, however it was when I had my daughter that I really took to art.

Watching my daughter, her journey through the innocence of childhood gave me the opportunity to see life again through the eyes of a child. Their hearts and minds open to all that is around them; imagination is the key. An ant struggling to climb a blade of grass, a flower, a small shiny pebble, a leaf gently floating to the ground, closing their eyes to feel the breeze upon their face, shapes in the clouds, the colour of a butterflies wings outstretched in the warm sunshine.

I just love to paint, it is my way of relaxation. It opens up a place of both peace and one of magic that I can escape to, where I can let go of my imagination.
