ABOUT
I paint landscapes, but really I’m painting the feeling of home —
sometimes quiet and still, sometimes vast and unsettled.
My work explores those in-between moments where light, weather and memory meet and where a sense of belonging can be felt, even if the place itself is imagined.
I’m drawn to shifting skies, open landscapes and the small presence of a house in the distance - something to hold onto. These recurring forms have become a way of exploring connection, nostalgia and the idea of returning. Not necessarily to a place, but to a feeling
I work from my garden studio in Lincolnshire painting in acrylic and mixed media building layers of texture, colour and atmosphere
After studying at Lincoln Art College and a Textile degree at Manchester Metropolitan University, I followed a creative path through colour, design and running my own print and card business before returning to painting in 2020
My work has been exhibited in galleries and selected for open exhibitions and I am represented for licensing by The London Studio
Behind the paintings
My work always seems to return to the same place, a sense of home
Not necessarily a physical place but a feeling. Something quiet, familiar and grounding
The landscapes I paint are often rooted in the natural world - shifting skies, open land, changing light and weather. These elements bring a sense of atmosphere and movement but they also create space. Somewhere to pause and breathe and be still.
Over time, small houses have begun to appear within these landscapes. They’ve become a way of holding on to that feeling of home. Something constant within something ever-changing
I think that comes from my own experience, never feeling like I fully fitted into one place and always being drawn back to what feels safe, known and real
These paintings aren’t about specific locations. They sit somewhere between memory and imagination. Exploring belonging, connection and the idea that even an imagined place can feel like home
