About My Work

I love to create colourful, textured, semi-abstract landscapes. My main inspirations are the moors or our beautiful coastline as these are my two favourite places to go walking.  Most of my work isn’t of anywhere specific and comes from my imagination as I hope to create a mood and sense of a place rather than giving too many details.  When people ask whereabouts on Dartmoor my painting is of, I always answer “it can be wherever you want it to be!”

As well as working from my imagination, I can also do more representational work (from photos) of specific areas. As I have a love of wildflowers, they often feature in the foreground of my paintings.

Original Artworks and Prints

I mainly work with acrylics as I like the versatility of them, or water mixable oil paints as I like the way they blend. I paint on either wooden cradles or canvases and all of my paintings come ready to hang. Some have been framed and others have had the sides painted, so don't need to be framed (but still can be if you wanted).

My original artworks are very affordable, starting at just £75. I also offer mounted prints, printed on fine art paper and mounted to fit a standard size frame. These start at just £15. 

Cyanotype

Recently, I have also been learning about the Cyanotype process, which has been really enjoyable. Read more about the cyanotype process. I have created many original pieces of Cyanotype, and these and my printed Greeting Cards have been very popular. Please visit My Shop for the current selection of available Cyanotypes.

Greeting Cards

I also sell a lot of my artwork and cyanotypes as printed greeting cards. All printed on sustainable card, and provided with an envelope and a compostable clear sleeve, they are priced at £3.00 each or four for £10.00. Please visit My Shop for my current cards

Greeting Cards


Jewellery

Finally, I also have necklaces which I make myself using original mini cyanotypes or sections from prints of my artwork.

 

I cut the image to size and then use specialist adhesive to stick the image into the metal tray, and add the glass cabochon. They are just £12 for the square pendants and £15 for the rectangle pendants.  These make lovely gifts or an affordable treat for yourself!  Below is a small example of my designs, but my stock changes frequently - if you would like to see my current stock, please contact me for details.
