Glimpsing places visited, observed nature, emotions and memories, sometimes in person and sometimes in the imagination, but always trying to capture that feeling we all experience when our worlds brush against that moment in time and it moves us. Anything from Sakura blossom to koi or birds in nature.

Influenced by her love of Japanese and eastern art on screens and furniture, which she restored in the Notting hill area in the 1980s. A particular love of Utamaro and Hokusai, perceiving beauty in the most unusual places and producing mesmerising eclectic images, often on metal leaf evoking the essence of the subject not simply a reproduction.

Trained by international interior designer Thomas messel, she still draws on these techniques as a classically trained mural and paint finish artist, and also utilising more modern photography, digital printing mixed with natural milk and seaweed. With a lifetime of learnt techniques producing a highly eclectic mixed media, unashamedly decorative but straight from the heart and soul.

More recently exploring the world of water through the ancient art of Suminagashi using the energy of ink on water.
