Acrylic painting, jewellery and ceramics

Though I’ve been passionate about painting and all things arty since childhood, it was not until recent years that I’ve had the opportunity to practise it. Being self taught, I take my inspiration from the world around me, I find it both relaxing and exhilarating, allowing my mind to explore much more than is just in front of me. I enjoy painting animals and landscapes fuelled by my love of nature, and of course, growing up on the North East coast I’ve never been too far away from the shoreline, so I also enjoy painting seascapes. Though I’ve dabbled in oils and watercolours I do prefer to work with acrylics as I love the depth of colour and texture I can create with this medium. However, I also love experimenting with different materials, each with their own unique properties…… such as glass paints and resin, which I enjoy incorporating into my work.

More recently, my love for ceramics has been rekindled, having taken a few courses over the years, since first being introduced to this medium in secondary school, and I’m excited to see where this journey may take me!
