I am just starting my journey as an amateur artist but have always been inspired by the wonders of the natural world and travel. I am drawn to oceans and coastlines, alongside enjoying the natural forms of trees, flowers and wildlife. Over recent years I have discovered the ‘Isles of Scilly’ and fallen in love with its scenery and solitude. During my last visit I took my sketchbook and enjoyed trying to capture some of its beauty en plein air.

I enjoy working in watercolours due to the experimental nature of water paints, enjoying playing around with different techniques and colours never quite knowing what the end result will be. Acrylic paint also interests me, and I love creating dramatic skies as part of any natural landscapes and building up colours in layers to give depth and cohesiveness to any piece.

Any profit I make from Warwickshire Open Studies will go to ‘Bee Friendly Warwick’ a small local community group.
