Welcome to my website! You may have accessed it deliberately or stumbled upon it in a moment of internet boredom, - but stay awhile and enjoy the artwork if you've time! I've been painting and drawing since I could hold a pencil, and worked as a professional illustrator for many years, but am now doing far more of the thing I love best - painting in oils on canvas. I sell worldwide and love connecting with the people who buy my work (it's all original art - although I will be offering some fine art prints of the most popular pieces soon!) - and most of what I do nowadays is what's termed 'inspirational' art. That's art for healing, using images and colours that touch us at a deeper level, so that the simple presence of the painting on a wall provides a continuous gentle reminder to lift the soul to joy.
For me painting is one of the necessities of life,- I find it energising and transformational and couldn’t imagine not doing it! I tend not to plan too far ahead but just move with the spirit, literally, although themes of subject and colour do tend to develop anyway – at the moment it’s nature, big time! Or nature spirits and angels – sometimes I have no idea what is going to materialise on the canvas before I pick up my brush! What I do find is that folk will often say that a particular picture speaks to them on a deep level, and brings them a great deal of joy – and selling my work like this is so rewarding on a personal level too! I organise delivery myself, and get fantastic feedback and I know that the reason I painted a specific piece was because it was meant to be owned by just one special person – it closes the sacred circle of creativity in a very beautiful way.
I don’t give lofty interpretations of my artwork, although I may have ideas of course – but the meaning in the painting is essentially the one that the viewer perceives, and that is how it should be. I just channel the image for them.”

Put your feet up and relax...
Have a browse, look at the pictures... do some daydreaming/brainstorming... what would you like a painting of? What would you like that image to say to you, or remind you of?
'look within, never forget that all starts in the individual.
As you change your consciousness
to love, peace, harmony and unity,
the consciousness of the world will change.'
Art is just one of those tools...
