My paintings are small, intimate objects that explore flow, connection and stillness and the sensuous experience of being alive.

Painting for me is as essential as breathing. I paint very slowly and I listen deeply to my work. It is always true.

I use an unusual technique that I have developed of painting layers of acrylic colour onto cut and collaged card. I usually work in short series. Each painting stands alone but can be collected or hung as a themed group.

Please note the dimensions of my work, most paintings are a little over A4 size, some smaller, some bigger, all beautiful objects with presence.

I am currently writing and illustrating books of poetry that flow from the core ideas and images I work with in my paintings. They are available to read by clicking on the titles in the menu.

They include the collections ‘Erte’, ‘harts tongue’, ‘my body is a bowl of flames’, ‘nocturnes’, ‘written in splinters of the sun’, ‘thrum’, ‘smithereens’ and ‘electrometer’.

Enjoy looking through my website.
