Welcome to my world! I am a mixed-media artist, creating original, heartfelt artwork in paint, collage and stitch. I am inspired by nature, the rolling hills, the rustic plots of my allotment, the birds that visit my garden - their stories of interconnection and spirit. The symbols I use in my work - sun, moon, star, tree, home - speak of our shared experience of the world and being human. I create art that invites reflection, connection and an appreciation for the wonders of nature.
​
I love to share what I do - I run dynamic workshops that nurture creativity. My courses are about connection to self and connection to nature through making sketchbooks, drawing with confidence, printing pattern. I want you to come away from a course, retreat or workshop feeling empowered and excited about the potential of your creativity. Courses are for anyone looking to reignite their creative spirit. ​​
Let me teach you!
​
My online courses are about getting past fear of the white page to build colourful, textured, patterned sketchbook pages full of strong marks and narrative
​
Courses are self-led and have continuous access. Once you're signed up you get free membership to my online community 'The Nurtured Artist'. Find a FREE taster course here.
​
I am also offering art and wellbeing retreats commencing Autumn 2024 as well as some in person nature themed workshop days.
If you have already found your passion and creative voice, let me help you turn that into a thriving creative business!
​
I have been self-employed as a designer, maker and artist for over 25 years. I help mid-life creatives with fledgling and established businesses turn their art into a commercial enterprise.
