Welcome to my studio, where each painting unfolds as a unique story drawn from fond memories and experiences over the years, landscapes, movement & nature. Through acrylic, watercolour, ink, and mixed media, I explore subjects that resonate with me now and from over the years. Join me in this personal journey of discovery through art exhibitions, including the annual Hampshire Open Studios each August, scheduled studio visits, and an ongoing blog where I share insights, reflections, and glimpses into my creative process.
