I hold a BA in Fine Art: painting and an MA in Fine Art from MMU. I have been making art and performance most of my life. My practice has spanned: drawing, painting and printmaking, installation, performed photoworks and videos, live performance and educational work. I have exhibited all over the UK, Europe, the USA and Scandinavia. Since moving to Hebden Bridge six years ago I have been working mainly in paint. I like to experiment playfully; painting on different surfaces and textures to create bold vibrant expressive colour, marks and movement in my work. The works are unpredictable and quite often chaotic, overall I like them to dance and sing to the viewer. I am also a yoga teacher which feeds its prana and energy into my work.

Sunset over the Mediterranean (for Dad)
This painting is very poignant, I recently uncovered some photographs I took some twenty years ago, I used one as a starting point for this painting taken on the night my Dad became seriously ill. It is also created in acrylic and pva.
Sky over Withens Clough Reservoir
This acrylic and pva painting was inspired by a walk around Withens Clough in the winter. I have tried to capture the fluidity of the sky and the water
My chakras have gone crazy
During the long, dark, lockdown winter this year I turned my attention to painting skies. There were so many gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. This acrylic and pva painting was painted from a watercolour sketch of a sunset which I manipulated.
Winter Full Moon
I am obsessed with the moon, especially full moons. In this image I have exaggerated both the colour and the movement of the clouds as they pass over the moon.
Yorkshire sunset
This painting used a watercolour sketch as its starting point. I was trying to capture the movement of the sky as the sun set behind the hills
Full moon in the skies
This is another of my moon-obsessed paintings which I created by exaggerating the colours and movement of the clouds drifting across it.
I love the sun
