I've always been fascinated with animals. My body of work is my often whimsical take on the beings that live amongst us, big, small, fur and feathered.
I work primarily in oil paint on stretched canvas and often use still lives as subjects for my paintings. Books, flowers, plants, scarves, tableware and other objects are used as windows for me to explore different colour palettes and create something new.
My love of art has been for as long as I can remember! I have dabbled in many mediums over the years and so long as I am creating, I feel a sense of fulfilment.
