Hello, I'm very pleased to see you here. Whether it is a pet portrait, commission an original art work or even art you can wear that you are looking for you don't have to look any further.

​

​​Working from my studio in Stony Stratford, I work mainly in oils, but also watercolour and gouache. My work is mostly with animals but my work covers a range of subjects and music features in a lot of it. 

 

Why animals? I currently have 5 dogs (yes 5, although my excuse is they are a UK vulnerable breed-which they are) as well as a cat. I’ve had cats, dogs, rabbits and was even lucky enough to have a wonderful horse in my life for a time. If you’ve known the love and company of an animal then let me help you to remember them in a personal and completely unique way. 

​

I often paint on vintage music, a lot of which I've saved from landfill. I am often appoached by people who want a home for old music and dont want to just throw it away. I'm also so pleased to share the jewellery with you that I have made from this same music. 

​

Apart from up-cycling music into a work of art, If you listen to certain pieces of music you will associated different feelings or experiences with it. When people hear the Harry Potter theme they will think of the film, or the Alps when they hear the Sound of Music overture. If you listen to certain classical pieces you may recognise them from adverts. Do you have favourites in your family or ones that have special meaning for family members? In my paintings the music is chosen especially with the subject in mind. Music is very emotional and everyone has memories associated with the many melodies and sounds that are heard. I love that emotional connection. This gives my art a greater depth than some would. If you choose to use music in the painting you commission it will add an extra dimension, that other paintings may not have.

Music is a big part of our family. I play the violin, husband the cello, and our daughters, alongside day jobs, still manage to do a lot of music at a professional level.
