My art practice is a visual exploration of internal and external landscapes- paintings that reference flight, transformation, connections, fragility, resilience, and growth. My psychotherapy work is an influence and I have always had an interest in the significance of memory, objects, snatches of time – I love gathering these ‘ingredients’ using sketchbooks and photography to assemble in the studio. Paintings are layered, with a tension between loose tactile paint, and the more graphic elements of drawings, text, screen print and photography. 

​

I have been painting professionally since 1994 in my hometown of Brighton and am a founder member of Studio 106 In Hove. I have completed many public and private commissions including paintings for Kings College, Worthing, Southlands and Scarborough Hospitals. Alongside studio work I am an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist for the NHS at Sussex County Hospital, and in private practise.

I was a lecturer at Sussex Downs College on the Arts Foundation courses and ran freelance arts workshops for 20 years with a diverse range of groups. No time for that now! An archive of participatory arts projects can be seen on the Arts Facilitation page.
