I work with an expressive creative flow and am not concerned with realism but with the communication of feeling. The feminine is of great interest to me, both the female body and energy.
I love to work on either canvas or paper with a medium to high grain. The texture and feeling of the material already plays a part. Touching the blank canvas sensually connects me to the artwork before it has even manifested. Painting with oil feels luxurious and the colours and shine are rich. I love to contrast reds with stunning blues that appear in places not planned or obvious. Acrylic paint is a new medium for me. The speed at which it dries and its layering ability make for wonderful plays on light and colour.
Born in South Africa and having resided for many years in Italy, I now live and work in the Lake District, England, with my husband and two sons.
It is a great joy to do what I love. Thank you for your interest :)

This is a dramatic painting of a nude female lying on her side, leaning on her arm with the hand of her other arm resting behind her head. I love the free brush strokes in this painting. She is very at peace with her body and its movement. There is an understanding of the feminine energy here also reflected in the colours: cool blues and warm pinks.

“And she was lightness and freedom ...”
The inspiration for this original acrylic painting came from a dream. In my dream this beautiful woman was dancing with a beauty of movement that I cannot put into words. Her dress flowed as she turned. She is serene, free and powerful in her grace and centredness.
"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once." Friedrich Nietzsche

This painting sees a marriage between the passion of the subject and that of the material, oil. A man and woman are caught on canvas in a loving embrace.
