I am a self-taught, contemporary still life artist living in Suffolk, UK.

I celebrate in paint the beauty of the ordinary and everyday. Those precious small moments of whimsy and charm, often unnoticed and overlooked. The mundane and domestic, specifically the table.

This is where I see and feel the underlying beautiful narrative of life, whether busy and messy or quiet and still. I notice and respond to the seemingly insignificant as precious and important. The pleasure lies in the ordinary and familiar. Gathering around the table to eat, converse, think, cry, read, play and celebrate.

Vignettes of simply being in this world. The humdrum necessity of it all.

Working primarily with acrylic paint and mixed media, I don’t plan much. Instead, I create intuitively, from my imagination, until the painting chooses to reveal itself. I build layer upon layer, creating a beautifully textured surface full of past ideas, scratches, scrapes, washes, marks and colour.

I find this way of painting makes me really happy. It's a free-flowing process where the painting decides what it wants to be. It's my way of capturing the joy and spontaneity that comes from being creative in the moment.

I particularly enjoy creating objects that don’t balance or make sense and appear to float. It amuses me and I hope it might amuse you too, bringing a smile to your face!

I am delighted to have my paintings on walls in the USA, Switzerland, Spain, Australia and across the UK. I am currently represented by Cambridge Contemporary Art, The Art Buyer Gallery and The Gallery, Maldon.
