Inspiration and Background

The Artist has been drawn to the sea, mountains and nature since spending holidays with family in Ireland.

Living in the south west, as for many Artists, remains a huge source of inspiration. Painting and sketching, often 'en plein air' connects her with the environment and its elements. Her paintings are a response to the immediate influences of her life and work

Being in the landscape is a place to escape, when she paints, she can escape; merging her internal landscape with the external world around her.

The Artist has studied & completed two year long courses at Newlyn School of Art in Cornwall to define her Practice and expand her studio skills.

The Artist is a member of Contemporary Mark Makers Totnes, Devon Artists Network, Torbay Guild of Artists and has shown her work at Artizan Gallery Torquay, Birdwood House Gallery Totnes, Penzance Gallery Cornwall, Powderham Castle Exeter & with Torbay Guild of Artists - at the Spanish Barn, Torre Abbey, Torquay.
