Current work in progress, mostly all floral pieces. My home is full of flowers at the moment which has inspired me to paint! Flowers are a constant inspiration.

I have been painting in acrylic more and more lately, which I love - and bigger too! I am considering putting together a body of work for a small exhibition of works on canvas - which feels so new, exciting and scary to me!

One of the things I love the most about our Edwardian home, is the height of the ceilings. While this gives our home a sense of grandeur and space, it has given us new challenges with regards to our art collection. Over the years we have picked up pieces of original artwork from places we have visited and from people that have inspired us. These pieces, mixed in with my artwork and the work of dear friends, has created a lovely eclectic art collection that we our proud of.
