I live and work in Lavenham Suffolk. I paint mainly in watercolour, acrylic and mixed media, working from my imagination, sometimes using drawings and sketches made on my travels.
As a printmaker, I make relief prints, monoprints and screen prints, often combining all three in experimental ways. I also use earlier prints for collage to create mixed media images.
Since 1994, I have been working with glass, while still painting and printmaking. I have completed many stained glass commissions including two windows for the Royal London Hospital, a window for the foyer for the Headgate Theatre in Colchester and a memorial window for Peldon Church, Essex.
I now mainly make colourful, textured, free-standing glass pieces, using fusing and slumping techniques.
My work is mainly imaginative, inspired by the rich colours and shapes of landscape and nature.
