I am best known for my botanical studies and floral paintings, but my new work expands my original discipline of botanical watercolours to explore more aspects of our natural environment, particularly landscapes, seascapes, and woodlands. My work is varied in both subject and technique, including realism and semi-abstractionism. Living and working between Derbyshire and France, these environments provide the inspiration for my paintings.

I am a Fellow of The Society of Botanical Artists, receiving the St. Cuthberts Mill Award in 2010 and I am the recipient of a RHS Silver – Gilt Medal in Botanical Painting (BBC Gardener’s World Live 2010). I am also a member of Peak District Artisans with whom I regularly exhibit and I am a versatile artist and qualified tutor.
