ABOUT
I paint landscapes, but really I’m painting the feeling of home —
sometimes quiet and still, sometimes vast and unsettled.
I work from my garden studio in rural Lincolnshire, surrounded by paintings, sketchbooks, half-finished ideas and usually a cat somewhere it shouldn’t be!
I studied at Lincoln Art College before completing a Textile degree at Manchester Metropolitan University, and spent many years working with colour and design before finding my way back to painting in 2020.
I work intuitively in acrylic and mixed media, building layers of colour, texture and atmosphere. My work has since been exhibited in galleries and open exhibitions across the UK and is 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
