I believe we all deserve to be surrounded by natural beauty. Our lives, & sometimes even our minds, are too busy to appreciate the stunning creation right in front of us. Camille Pissarro once said, “Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing”.
I mainly draw inspiration from the beautiful gardens & wild hedgerows around where I live in Cornwall. The shapes & patterns within a single flower or leaf, the lush colour combinations found in nature & the flowing, organic forms all fascinate & excite me.
Since being a young child I've loved being involved in as many different types of art & crafts as I can get my hands on. There’s a huge void in my life if I'm not creating something!
I ran a successful silver jewellery making business for 10 years before giving birth to my beautiful daughter 10 years ago. Struggling to adjust to my new role as a mum, I felt I needed a change in career. I was super excited when I stumbled across zentangle. This was the perfect inspiration as I started to combine these intricate patterns with my previous artistic experience.
Over the years, it’s been interesting to watch my art practice evolve almost in parallel to my personal development. A desire to express myself more freely is mirrored in my recent layered abstract work.
