Hello, I'm very pleased to see you here. Whether it is an original art work, pet portrait, commission or even art you can wear (earrings and pendants) that you are looking for you are in the right place.

​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. 

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. 

I'm also very happy to be one of the organisers of our local Urban Sketchers group. My social media includes creative wellbeing tips, weekend inspiration as well as behind the scenes. 

I studied Fine Art at Leeds University and now have work in several countries around the world. I regularly exhibit including for Bucks Art Weeks. Got an event you would like be to come to? Let me know.
