Long time no post! Just wanted to check in and give you a look at what I've been doing recently! I've been working in mixed media collage most recently, creating a series of work inspired by the funfair!

August 2014

I have been searching for a door name sign for my kids bedroom door with no luck! They will be sharing a room so I wanted something to represent them both but I couldn't find one I liked. In the end I went to out local pottery painting shop (Lollipops and Ladybirds) and created these! :)

Now they each have a unique handmade door plaque that I hope will look fab on their door!

Quick sketch...

August 2014

Just thought I'd show you a quick pencil sketch I did yesterday! I had forgotten how much I enjoy drawing as I tend to paint most often now. Wondering what to draw next! :) 

June 2014 'Japanese Fall' deep box canvas. 50cm x 50 cm.

Phew! Finished just in time for baby 2 to arrive! Acrylic on box canvas. I really enjoyed painting in bright autumn colours. This piece is avaliable through myself or www.artgallery.co.uk 

Work in progress... June 2014 (currently untitled)

Just a sneak peak at my latest work inspired by autumnal Japanese water gardens. I am loving all the reds and golds!

 Hoping to finish this piece before our new baby arrives on Thursday!! (No pressure!) so I will be very busy this week! :)

In The Wild - Commission

This is my most recent commission piece.  The brief was a painting that included a waterfall and tigers that looked as though they were coming out of the painting.  I don't normally take on animal pieces but I felt I was up to the challenge!  I love Japan so I loved having the opportunity to paint some of its beautiful scenery and foliage.

I have a real appreciation for how beautiful the while tigers are having completed this piece.  It is another piece I really enjoyed doing - so much so, I have another Japanese water garden painting on the way!

Feel free to email me for information on my commission work and as ever, I'd love to receive your feedback on this piece.

Viva Las Vegas!

I haven't been lucky enough to visit America yet, but when I do I would love to visit Vegas!  I love the lights, colors and over excited atmosphere.  I wanted to capture part of the skyline showing as much of the lights and attractions as I could.  I have put a lot of detail in hoping that this is another piece that will surprise you every time you look at it!
Ireally enjoyed painting this and I hope that shows in my work.  This was completed in May 2014.
