My slice of my back story…

I grew up in the North East of England. At the age of 17 I attended an Art Foundation Course in York , and went on to study at Leeds Collage of Art and Design for further 3 years. 

My work has been accepted into the South West Academy Open exhibition in Exeter, The Armed Forces Exhibition in London War Museum and the Plymouth City Gallery. ( and at pre selection to the New English Arts Club.) Solo exhibitions have been held in Tavistock Arts Centre and recently at Sandridge Barton in South Devon.

This June I celebrated having a drawing selected for the Society of Women Artists 163rd Annual Open Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London.

My most exciting news to date … a piece was selected by The Penwith Gallery in St Ives for the Associates Summer Exhibition 2024 (running until 24th August). This prestigious gallery was formed in 1949 and is associated with so many progressive and influential artists, such as Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson. It has given the Penwith Society a unique place in British art history. This selection means a great deal to me as I regularly travel to Zennor and St Ives to draw, I first drew at the Porthmeor Studios with my father as a teenager. In turn I have drawn there with my children. ( Please see my current exhibition page).

My current work…

I know Dartmoor is an unyielding and shapes all who visit and live there. The power she yields impact on us physically and emotionally. This unique and ancient wetland habitat , with its precious ancient granite tors ,towers in the distance above Ashburton.

Currently I am working with found mark making tools and organic texture texture to create two and three dimensional works. I am exploring my own and others intimate relationship with Dartmoor .

Dartmoor is fragile and noble , and these qualities I observe in the animals and people who pass through and live there on life’s journey.”

I really enjoy the conversation with viewers as the discussion I have with people helps to inform the direction of my work. .
