As an artist, my creative journey began in graphic design. Knowing how to find balance and structure in composition, having an eye for colour and choice of subject matter are foundations that I owe to my previous career that I now use with more freedom and expression.

​

​​I am based in the Pays de Bray area in Normandy, where I get inspiration from the rural, unspoiled countryside that surrounds me. I like to paint 'en plein air' working both in soft pastel and oil. I have participated in several art courses over the years including a six week course at the Florence Academy of Art where my aim was to understand and practice the fundamental skills of drawing from life.

​

Whether I'm outside or in my studio, what I love most is when I find myself completely lost in the beauty of nature and what I'm trying to paint. It is only when we observe so closely that we see it. So much passes us by. For that I am grateful to be doing what I do. Trying to capture that beauty will be a never ending, sometimes frustrating, challenge, but it is a beautiful creative process involving mind, body and soul.​​
