West Wales
Taking inspiration from regular visits to Pembrokeshire over the last fifteen
years, these paintings reflect the artist's fascination with this evocative
coastal landscape, particularly the area around Fishguard. Using the sea as a
muse and water colour as the initial wash in each work, the medium itself is
allowed to flow organically creating inspired flourishes and subversive
elements.

Land and Sea
This collection of mixed media work explores the contrasting landscapes
of Wales, Sardinia and Yorkshire. Ostensibly conventional landscapes, on closer
examination the viewer will discover abstract elements and ambiguity within the
work. Richly textured organic detail contrasts
with man-made structures.

Italy
This body of work draws from two very different experiences of Italy. One
cycling trip around the coast and Gennargentu mountains of Sardinia and a more
recent visit to Tuscany - in particular the ancient walled cities of Sienna and
San Gimignano

Botanica
A collection of pastel and mixed media work using elements taken
from the plant world which have been simplified, abstracted and set against intense colour.
Some work incorporates her garden designs, using their graphic qualities as a backdrop
for the plants themselves. In 2008 the exhibition "Botanica 2" will be held in Oriel Makers in Cardiff,
(see Contact page).

Goa
Following a visit to India a few years ago these mixed media paintings attempt to convey the richness of colour, the lushness of nature and the all-pervading smell of spices in this beautiful coastal state.
