About the Artist

 

 

  I am originally from Nottingham, and having spent many years in London, I moved to Sussex in 2003. I initially trained to be a dancer before becoming an artist. I went to art college where I experimented with lots of different mediums although it wasn't until later on that I discovered the art of silk painting.  I prefer to say that I’m a textile artist, as I incorporate so many different materials into my paintings.  I love the translucent texture of silk which illuminates and projects colour and lends itself perfectly to the loose forms that I create in my floral and meadow scenes.

Up until recently, I worked from my studio at home, but I now work at the Sussex Sculpture Studio in Partridge Green, West Sussex (www.sussexsculpture.co.uk).

As well as selling my work online, I also sell my work through local galleries throughout the country, in addition to doing commissions.
