ABOUT

I have a background in textile design having studied Surface Pattern Design at University and it is this area of interest that has led to the work that I continue to develop.  I had been painting the countryside around my home town in Devon and areas where I went walking in England.  I continued to develop and explore my landscape painting techniques in Provence.

​

Working with spray paints evolved from my need to work on top of and into a texture rather than a white canvas.  Plant forms create great stencils and give a variety of tonal effects on which to paint; they are the detail within the landscape and in turn the background detail within mine.  Through my work I am exploring the ideas of light and the tonal value of colour, striving to create perspective, distance and depth through colour and texture.

​

My landscapes reflect my surroundings and these now represent views around the areas of Denmark where I now live.  Having moved from the South of France I am now working with a different colour palette and continue to search for new and interesting aspects of the landscape around me.
