About Me

Welcome to my world of botanical Bas relief and sculpture.  

I have always had a huge passion for art and nature, as a small child growing up in rural Suffolk my favourite place to be was in the garden surrounded by flowers, and usually with a sketchbook in my young hand. 

I was lucky enough to study Natural history illustration at college and after 2 kids returned to my great love of flower painting in 2022!

After gaining my own studio I am now found happily working away on my botanical plaster work.

A wonderful fusion of sculpture and painting, an art-form that captures the beauty of nature, concentrating on composition and plant structure.

 I love how this art captures the fragility of plants and freezes them in time for ever more. 

I enjoy pushing the boundaries, using items that offer tactile texture and shape, whether that be a beautiful foxglove, a spiralling shell or a fragile piece of old lace.  

Current projects are works based on the coast, and antique farming equipment.

I also experiment in finishing mediums including pigments, acrylics, rust, and cyanotype iron salts.

Always interested in gallery spaces, exhibition collaborations and live demos.
