About
Following a rewarding career in the arts working with young people to inspire creative talent, I returned to my own artistic practice. Intriguing themes emerge from vintage and contemporary imagery to create playful
analog collages with intricate painting and a touch of gold.
Now as a Birmingham based artist, my work threads stories together from my photography, Indian travels, people, and sometimes pets. I enjoy capturing the character of people and places, infused with my love of color and a few surprises.
Themes may challenge female stereotypes or present intriguing compositions exploring a new sense of place and space. My large photography archive from my travels continues to be a wonderful resource to inspire new collage work.
I have valued reaching people and sharing my work through, Birmingham Open Studios ,Instagram, Facebook and exhibiting at Ikon Contemporary Art Gallery
I love working to commission and am happy to discuss affordable pieces for yourself or special gifts.
Work can respond to places, people and interests creating a unique original artwork responding to your ideas.
