Current work

Her paintings combine various approaches and explore colour and effects of light on environments and emotions. She uses the interaction, contrasts and textures of a range of media. More recently she has been painting with water colour. Most of her influences stem from the rich vibrant colours of the Mediterranean landscape and the light and transformation of surfaces. Taking ideas from nature and simplifying them in form while adding others to bring in an element of abstraction.

Mixed media artist

 Having established herself as a decorative artist and designer, her paintings reflect the many aspects of her skills. Working with a mixture of paint media and using an extensive range of techniques, which include the traditional methods of oil and water gilding, egg tempera and glazing.
