I'm an abstract landscape painter who uses natural materials to tell a story of the land.
The ancient sites and abandoned industry relics that litter the Cornish landscape offer both inspiration and natural materials from which I create my abstract landscape paintings. I’m interested in the visual impact of what has been left behind, what is hidden, what will erode and what will remain indefinitely. Gathering earth pigments from chosen sites, I hand process paints to bring you a tangible connection to the place, telling a story and bringing the magic of this land to you.
After completing 2 years of study with the Newlyn Art School, which strengthened my sense of self, ideas and interests and gave me the tools to be rigorous in my critical thinking, I started to make huge leaps forward in my professional career.
A significant part of this was my move to investigate natural materials in an effort to reduce the use of plastic-based products and create a more considered and sustainable art practice.
In spring 2023 I held her first solo show 'This Land' at the Royal Cornwall Museum which debuted my explorations into natural earth pigments and writing about my beloved Cornwall landscape. Alongside this I ran a series of workshops and discovered a love for teaching my processes.
