Inspired by the Mendip Hills, where I have lived for nearly 30 years, I love to make monochromatic drawings and monotypes conveying the mood and atmosphere of the Mendip light over the landscape.

Occasionally I react in a different way to the landscape finding vibrant colours that I translate into pastel paintings, a medium which suits the immediate and expressive way I like to work.

I enjoy entering Open Exhibitions and taking part in the Somerset and North Somerset Arts Weeks amongst others. I was recently delighted to have been given a $250 award by Speedball Art for my charcoal drawing of Wells Cathedral.

I am a member of Clevedon Art Club and have been teaching monthly foundation skills workshops at Clevedon School. My regular art classes take place in Shipham. More details can be found on my website.
