ARTIST
Winter trees, light reflection, magic and dark places. All these things inspire the images I create.Each day I walk the same walkthrough fields and woodland absorbing the changing moods and colour around me. I select paintings from this landscape. “I hope the affection I have for this countryside is evident in my work.I also have a childish love of fairy tales and a ll things magical. I work in watercolour, selecting pigments with heavy sediments to create texture. I use heavyweight paper to enable me to use multiple washes. I enjoy introducing fine detail onto abstract diffused backgrounds.I hope you enjoy the images you find her.
