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.
The latest addition to my website is a book, which I helped design and have walked the walking routes. Being outside in the country is one of the things I love best. There is so much beautiful landscape to see, and being outdoors has so many health benefits. I highly recommend rediscovering some of the Lost Railways of South West Northumberland.

Last autumn my work featured on two television programmes!
BBC 1 - Escape to the Country
Back in Spring I had a phone call from BBC1’s ever popular Escape to the Country. They were filming in Northumberland and were looking for local creatives and small businesses who were inspired by the country. They had found my work and realised that the country ide is incredibly important to me and my inspiration. They came and interviewed me and took photos of a super sized watercolour I had painted, based on the views around Knarsdale in the North Pennines. This episode on Northumberland was broadcast on BBC1, 3pm on Tuesday 5th November.
Discovery TV - Derelict Rescue
Firstly my paintings and prints were selected to be part of the decor and gallery at Warksburn Old Church. A restoration project by Anne and Alan James, that has become the first chapel to be converted into a passiv haus; the ultimate in green energy and high class design. The conversion was filmed as part of the the series Derelict Rescue, on Discovery TV. My very popular prints Midday Clocks and Towards Housesteads are in the bedrooms and much more of my work is in the gallery. Warksburn Old Church is a now a luxury holiday let where you can experience staying in a building that is the gold standard in sustainable living.
