I am an artist based in Oxford. I work primarily in oils, love strong colours and often lean towards the lines, forms and shapes of abstract painting. I believe art can change things – it can help us look at people and situations and the environment, and imagine. Art can help us to live into the future, to imagine more of life’s potential. I seek to explore hope. I want to imagine summer in winter, and in that longing for something different, invite others to see beauty and step into hope too.

I also enjoy painting flowers, or the seaside, or characters that light up story times for my nephews and godchildren. The kids are excited to experience their favourite animal, and I love the time and conversation we share. Painting gives me a way to connect, to nurture relationship.
