Influences
“Ten years ago, I moved to the beautiful Chew Valley, which is nestled on the edge of the Mendip Hill’s . Since our arrival here, I have been continually inspired and in awe of the natural beauty, charm and calm that radiates from this area.
I have a growing interest in wildlife and love observing the changing seasons, which fuels my passion for gardening. I grow many of the flowers that bounce above our perimeter wall from seed, germinating many of the annuals from the year before.
My Home, animals and surroundings are such an inspiration. I reflect the happiness and energy I draw from them into my work.”
Inspiration
“I paint for pure selfish endulgence and mindfulness. But along the way I wish to spread a little happiness and joy from the simple things that surround us all.
From the small detail that can pass you by unnoticed, but can make you happy to the core.
I love embellishing our home with details of history, pattern, colour and most of all the joy of our family.”
