I am a contemporary botanical watercolour artist working from direct observation and my sketchbook stories of seasonal flora and fauna. My work focuses on structure, texture, and the subtle rhythms of colour throughout the year. My background in architecture, design and art education informs the way I approach composition and balance, ensuring that each piece is carefully considered.

I focus on flowers and nature because, while they can hold vivid memories and deep meaning, they are ultimately ephemeral and do not last. Their short-lived beauty can be turned into lasting memories in watercolour.

I’ve overcome many challenges and as a result I was asked to create a watercolour for Macmillan Cancer’s HOPE (How to Overcome Challenges Effectively) mental health programme. I donated a digital version of this painting to The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, London. I also sell ‘Hope’ greetings cards at local art fairs ~ all proceeds going to the Macmillan Cancer Charity.
