Behind the Canvas
I am a West Country artist who grew up on Portland, surrounded by the wild beauty of the sea, sky and coastline. The ever-changing light, colours and forms of the landscape, along with the rich flora and fauna of the area, continue to inspire my work. Although I have lived elsewhere, the West Country has always drawn me back and remains at the heart of my creative life.
I am largely self-taught, with a background in interior design and specialist paint effects, and later worked supporting vulnerable young people, often using art to build confidence and mindfulness. Through my studio, workshops and exhibitions, I now enjoy helping others—adults, parents and children—to explore their creativity, learn new skills and discover the joy, calm and connection that art can bring.
Art lessons. Learn & relax in my beautiful rural studio
In my tutoring sessions, I encourage people to unlock the pictures in their imagination and bring them to life on paper or canvas, even if they have never created art before. You can follow a guided lesson or explore your own ideas, discovering creativity at your own pace in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Sessions take place in my light, well equipped studio overlooking a peaceful garden courtyard filled with birds and wildlife. All materials are provided—simply come along, relax, and enjoy a calm, creative time making something uniquely your own.
Personalised & Bespoke Art. Special places, Illustrations, Invitations, Animal Portraits
Bespoke artwork is available in oil, acrylic, pastel, or pen and ink, created to immortalise animals, meaningful landscapes, special views, or places filled with personal memories. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to reflect the atmosphere and importance of the subject.
Pen and ink drawings may also include hidden names or words within the artwork, adding a unique personal element. Artwork can be created for book illustrations, wedding invitations, or reproduced as greeting cards, allowing special pieces to be shared with others.
