I guess I was a sixties teenager and remember the hippie festivals and the ‘flowery music’. So flowers were a theme amongst that time. I was also a nature lover and family holidays to the wilds of Ireland out of the London smoke were a great escape. I was a bit of a dreamer in the natural world.

Art at school was a background interest until I got to O level. However my interest changed and continued in further education with psychology and social work, apart from a gap year in France where I soaked up art and art books.

I think fertility and art are closely linked and when I had my daughter I created with her and played and explored different mediums, including pottery and 3d, however I decided to start painting and basically was self taught alongside studying foundational art in Swansea and other special interest courses in watercolour and other mixed media.

I love colour so flowers offer that in abundance as well as texture .
I sometimes paint loosely and abstraction as well as offering a feel good factor. I felt like I was working in an imaginary garden when I did these paintings. Hope you enjoy them too!!
