Created as part of ‘Delving Beneath Series’ – a body of work started during 2020 pandemic lockdown, which has helped me make sense of the shifts going on around the world and reflect on what is meaningful in life.
I tapped into my love for the unique textures that occur in nature, on weathered walls, old billboards and rusting metal – the scars of time, symbolising memories and keepsakes.
Exploring the process of adding and subtracting until a balance is found. Using various methods of layering and piecing together fragments through mixed media and then scraping, sanding and peeling off – metaphorically delving deeper to discover what lies beneath and our hidden strengths.
Framed size 35 x 35cm
Image size 30.5 x 30.5cm
Acrylic and mixed media on wood panel.
Ready to hang in an off-white tray frame.
The painting is initialed on the front, signed on the back and the surface is protected with UV safe varnish.

Inspired by coastal visits here in the SW of England, this abstract seascape is an interpretation of the calmer weather days at the coast – reflections on the sand, sea spray and mist rising with a suggestion of a mast – perhaps metaphoric of the voyages we take in this lifetime.

Inspired by sea visits here in the South West of England, I’ve tried to capture the essence and experience whether walking along the coast, sailing, surfing, watching the waves crash or wild swimming. This painting will bring the essence of the sea and hopefully a metaphoric breath of fresh sea air to any home.

I love this painting – the built up layers of acrylic and ink, the energetic pastel lines creating movement, the classical vase and the abstract table suggestion along the bottom. Inspired by the colour, joy and all-encompassing radiance of sunflowers, this piece will brighten any room. Flowers kindly from local organic flower farm, Wards Farm Flowers.

With this bold piece I used a limited colour palette inspired by a gorgeous tarnished copper pipe that my son gave me (see pic) left-over from his chemistry experiment – he used it as an ion donator for plating in case you wondered.
I started with black ink mark-making on the gessoed panel to create movement to respond to. I then enjoyed creating lots of collage papers using gelli plate printing followed by cutting up and piecing together fragments of the collage and newspaper and finally drawing over it. I love this process of adding and subtracting until a balanced composition is found.

Another vibrant abstract piece inspired by coast and countryside walks here in the South West of England. Devon is a far cry from the wilds of my African roots. I draw inspiration from the untamed, exquisite landscape surrounding me here – the vastness of Dartmoor, the energetic rivers, wildflowers and the Jurassic coastline with its history and crumbling cliffs.
I create a rich surface texture by building up layers then scraping, sanding and drawing back into these until a balance in composition is found.

Layers upon layers create a wonderfully rich surface in this painting and I love the hints of colour peeking through where I have sanded. A figure emerges and it seems symbolic to me about what we as women carry and hold in this lifetime, the pieces of us and the beauty in the scars of time. The roles we embody as daughters, sisters, mothers, friends, wives, grandmothers etc and the messages we’re told by others including the media on what it is to be a women and how we rework this in being our true selves.

I absolutely love this colourful and quirky abstract by life here in the South West of England. With my background in design and with work on wood panel, I enjoy exploring the process of adding and subtracting until a balance of composition is found.

I aimed to capture the essence and emotion experienced – like an exquisite symphony with shape, line, colour and marks the visual notes encapsulated.

An abstract ensemble inspired by countryside and coastal walks here in the South West of England. I love the fact that people have seen so many different things in these paintings – cliffs, a river, flowers, fossilised rocks and dunes – what can you see?
I enjoyed the process of adding and subtracting until a balance was found in the composition. I utilised various methods of layering and piecing together fragments through mixed media and then scraping, sanding and peeling off – metaphorically delving deeper to discover hidden gems.

So often we have to hold it together, grit teeth, keep calm and carry on. This painting reminds me of the contained chaos we have to hold at times and of what really goes on under the calm surface. Created during the pandemic with built up layers on panel – shapes, colours and textures inspired by the exquisite surrounding landscape here in Devon, UK. I love the raw, expressionistic feel of this piece. Part of an ongoing series looking at ways we cope with stress and trauma and how it manifests in our mind and body.

Created as the UK emerged from the pandemic lock-down, I loved working on this colourful piece! It forms part of an ongoing series looking at how we process and make sense of the jumble of information that we soak up during challenging times – the facts and figures from the media and all kinds of opinions from social media and the resulting emotions. It is a challenge to make sense of the madness at times. I tried not to take myself too seriously – here choosing to express some of the quirky beauty that nature and life has to offer.

Created as the UK emerged from the pandemic lock-down, this painting is all about how we rebuild ourselves and what we choose to keep – the beauty of nature, laughter, friendship, love and generosity, and how we take that forward. It forms part of an ongoing series looking at how we process and make sense of the jumble of information that we soak up during challenging times – the facts and figures from the media and all kinds of opinions from social media and the resulting emotions.

Built up vibrant acrylic layers, transfers, collage and pastel then excavated into. I have always had a deep affinity with the natural world and draw inspiration from the textures, colour, patterns and atmosphere experienced.
Exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby Jurassic coast, I collect interesting objects which I keep in my studio for inspiration and mark-making including fossils, dried seed-heads, pebbles, decaying flowers and leaf skeletons.
I see a torso, whilst my hubby sees a tranquil sea view with cliffs. There is a definite influence from the book ‘The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, Brain and Body in the Transformation of Trauma’ by Bessel van der Kolk. We’ve probably all faced challenges in the last year or in our lifetime. I am curious about how the body and mind holds stress and the ways we cope, recoup and build resilience during challenging times. I often have to remind myself to rest and nourish my heart and soul.
My art practise has become more process driven and a sort of personal therapy where fragments of nature and everyday life that have been soaked up are reworked through the creative process. Like pieces of an unconcious puzzle that eminate from deep inside me become resolved in the artwork. Colour, texture and composition the visual words of something intangible.
