My art journey stared in textiles where specialising in working with natural materials I became a silk weaver. My love of nature and the natural world has never left me and I paint using the same ethos, using natural pigment paints from my art studio in Suffolk.

In this series of work I have reflected on the past and created a contemporary collection of dramatic abstract paintings.

Looking Back is from the Memories Collection of 10 paintings. Reflecting on trips up to Felixstowe where we walk upto Felixstowe Ferry where I love to meander around the ramshackle boat yard. There is so much inspiration there.

A Contemporary take on a seascape, my ultimate inspiration is to be by the sea. Returning to the studio it is inevitable for the impressions to make their way on to my board.

This is the largest in my new collection of work, looking at Fragments. Sashiko is the Japanese method of stitching and patch repairing a textile until it takes on a beauty in its own right. In this painting, I kept layering and ‘repairing’ layer over layer until the final result, with my marks representing stitches.

One of a pair of paintings designed to hang together or equally happy on their own. Time is one of my favourites, I love the sketchy, loose feel to the marks I have made. Whilst panting I was thinking about the passage of time and hence the title was born.

The Effects of Water.

This is a thought provoking title. What are the effects of water? What do you see?

Rather than impose my interpretations, I would prefer to leave this to the viewer to determine.

Framed in a hand painted frame in Farrow & Ball All White, this painting is made entirely from 100% natural mineral paints.

The largest work I have painted to date, Blue Balance has been a revelation for me as this year I have found using acrylic paints so difficult as the use of paints that contain plastic (acrylics) goes so deeply against my grain that it became untenable.

So I have worked with papers made with plant matter and inks made from natural products, but still wished to paint. Recently, finding a range of 100% natural mineral based paints made using solar power has ticked all my boxes and I am delighted that they have enabled me to create a whole new series of work.

Blue Balance is the first in the collection.

What can I tell you about this painting?

That I love it? is that too loud & proud? Do I care?

But it is true, I do love it. Something in this painting has brought together all my thoughts and obsession of being near water, close to the edge, feeling the pull of the natural forces.

In addition, using my new 100% pure natural mineral paints which have a delightful chalky quality rather than the plastic sensation of painting in acrylics, this has reached a pinnacle for me personally.
