I usually paint with acrylics and water based crayon. For drawing I love the organic qualities of charcoal. Ocasionally I use oils.
My paintings are often an emotional response to landscape, especially the beautiful Downland and coastal areas in Sussex near where we live. I also respond to figures. I try to keep my work fluid, spontaneous and expressive.
My influences are Chagall, Anslem Keiffer, David Bomberg. Barbara Rae and locally Harold Mockford.

I write poetry, children's stories and the occasional article. I also love to paint and usually work in acrylic, water based crayon and charcoal.
I am principally interested in an emotional or spiritual response to landscape so I am more focused on creating atmosphere than actual representation. I like figures too.
In my writing I am searching for a contemporary religious female voice which is tolerant and open hearted .
I have a MA in Creative Writing from Sussex University and have had poetry published in various journals. I also have a small collection of poems in print; Magdalene and other poems.
I have exhibited paintings and poetry locally in Eastbourne and the surrounding area and with Christian Arts nationally.
I am also a nurse and a mother of three grown up children. I long for a greener, more compassionate, unified world and am active in the interfaith movement.
