Hello and welcome!

I am an artist and teacher, living and working in Northumberland. My work is atmospheric, colourful, and experimental; inspired by the Northumberland landscape, seasons, nature, colour and pattern. My journey is always taking me to different places and new discoveries. I am always keen to push the boundaries and find new ways of working. I sell paintings, cards, prints, and commissions and I hold workshops and offer tuition.

This walking and cycling guide, written by my husband Peter, is brilliant for those wanting to explore some of Northumberland’s old railway tracks. I helped design the front cover and offered artistic advise as well as editing skills. So far it has proved popular with locals, tourists and railway enthusiasts.
