Biography

I am an artist and art student based in Tunbridge Wells in Kent. Studying fine art alongside my practice creates opportunities to push me in new directions that continually inform my ideas. I have a broad interest in style and enjoy the freedom and spontaneity of my work, responding to colour, emotions and my own experiences. Personal connection is an important part of my work and this is incorporated through connections in my materials, found items or captured fleeting moments throughout my day.

During the time my children were growing up, I pursued my passion for creating, by re-purposing found or used items and furniture. Using found items that bring a previous story continue to evoke a curiosity in me. My commitment to sustainability is reflected in my work through up-cycling practices such as re-using previous works and making handmade paper from my old sketches, paintings and paper scraps. My approach emphasizes re-purposing existing materials while retaining subtle elements of their original history.

I began to study art in 2017 with an Art and Design course, then continued this with short painting and drawing courses before beginning my current part-time study of a Fine Art degree. I have been a member of the Tunbridge Wells Art Society for the last 4 years and currently run the weekly Acrylic painting sessions that explore a variety of subjects, styles and techniques.

I love the freedom painting offers me for self-expression, indulging in the unexpected ways paint and collage can create texture and random marks that emerge during the creative process. I use a mix of media such as paper, acrylic paint, charcoal, spray paints, acrylic inks and pastels, often applying paints straight from the tube onto the surface, I love the unstructured interweave of colour and marks this creates, engaging and inviting me to respond. Its from these first marks and layers of collage material that I begin to see where my painting will lead, taking on either a figurative or abstract presence.

This process enables me to work freely and intuitively, engaging my emotions and experiences to connect with each work.

I have completed several commissioned works and promote my work locally through exhibitions and art fairs, my website, social media and referrals.
