Firstly, I would just like to take this opportunity to say thank you for taking the time in knowing a little bit more about me and browsing my website. It means so much, so thank you again!

I didn't have the best start in Secondary Education and failing my Art O’ Level certainly didn’t help matters, to the point that my Art Teacher politely advised me to steer clear of art as a career.

After working in retail from the age of 23 years and raising a family, in 2014 I moved to Cornwall, where I settled in the peaceful idyllic countryside, surrounded by nature and the wild animals that resided. It was here where I found a renewed love for creating.

When the pandemic rose its ugly head in 2021, my husband and I found ourselves coping with the new norm of lockdown regulations. Finding new interests to keep us occupied, I stumbled across website tutorials on how to paint in Watercolour. My childhood love for art quickly resurfaced, and I spent countless evenings drawing and painting animals, often replicating photos sent by friends.

Fast forward to the present day I am now living my dream-creating artwork full-time. I'm thrilled to be part of the ever-growing National Craft Events throughout England and recently opened my Studio/Gallery at home to the public through booked appointments.

In 2024 I was awarded the Highly Commended Certificate in the SAA Art Competition with my painting of ‘Hope; a watercolour painting of a beautiful Lion looking up, that was showcased at the Nottingham Art Exhibition’

In October 2025 I won the Gold Medal for Artist Of the Year 2025 through Shop Cornish’s ‘Made In Cornwall’ Awards.

My style captures the essence of the animals I paint or draw and allow the personality and soul to shine through in a three-dimensional way that brings the portrait to life!

I use only the highest-quality, environmentally friendly materials that are designed to last a lifetime. My aim is for you to enjoy your artwork for years to come; while knowing it was created with the love it so richly deserves.
