I am an artist inspired by the huge skies and forever changing terrain of my local landscape – the Ely fens.

From sketches and half-worked beginnings made while out walking, I develop my paintings in the studio using either oil or gouache. It is this process of painting which fascinates me, drawing me in and away from my original intention, but always ending up somewhere near.

Previously, I worked with thread, stitch and dyes. Now I use paint, brushes and knives. However, I feel the marks originally practised through stitch remain evident now in my painted surfaces.

In July 2022 I will be taking part in the Cambridge Open Studios
