Original prints and paintings
New Work 2024 and 2025 is primarily inspired by a road trip across the USA (April 2024), featuring destinations like MOAB, Monument Valley, Arches, and various outdoor swimming locations, all interwoven with imaginative elements.
Although abstract, my pieces are rarely ‘made-up’. My style is to take an aerial view (of a vista that inspires me) and transform it into a unique, vibrant collage of mixed media and morphed shapes.
As a young girl in East Africa, I drew inspiration from the shapes, colours, & textures of natural vistas and the way the weather affects their appearance (how the wind shifts the shapes & colours, how the sun brightens or dulls, etc).
As an avid swimmer, I spend a lot of my time in all bodies of water – Swimming pools, lakes, oceans, and even the occasional river. The sea pools and beaches of Ithaka and Menorca continue to fuel my passion and spark new concepts for my paintings!
The raw power of the ocean waves hitting the harbour walls & surrounding land is a sight to behold. Many of my recent paintings are abstract depictions of water interacting with man-made structures, boats, & land.
Cornwall is a firm favourite and tourist hot spot in Britain. The combination of harbour lights, expanses of sea and sand mixed with the unpredictable weather, thundering waves, and stunning historical towns make for a vibrant scenery painting full of different tones, colours, & shapes.
For a complete change to oil paint, I also work in Mixed Media and collage on thick paper, using coloured papers, pva, gel medium, acrylic paint, ink, and all sorts of drawing materials like posca pens, biros, pencils, etc. to create layers upon layers of different textures and mark making.
Small artworks, whether they are mixed media and collage using water-based paints and inks on paper, or oil on canvas, typically measure no more than 35 x 35 cm.
Giclee Limited Edition prints are Fine Art quality reproductions on acid free paper of my original artworks, with maximum editions of 25. The print is typically smaller than the original for two reasons: firstly, to make it more accessible, and secondly, because my printer is limited by the width of his fine art printer.
