I love opening my garden studio to welcome visitors and Open Studios is a lovely way to do it. I like to capture the beauty of my surroundings whether it’s the landscape or flowers. I sketch and paint outdoors and bring these back to the studio to use as ideas for my paintings. I love the many layers of paint, collage and other media to express what it’s like to be in the landscape. I work on a number of paintings at one time and on a variety of sizes. My inspiration comes from the natural environment seeing details in patterns and texture, then simplifying these by abstracting the key elements. I hope that you see the beauty in my work and your imagination is stirred by what you see.
