Thank you for looking at my store.

I have been painting for two years. I actually started out by painting ceramics which progressed to canvas, I use mostly watercolours and acrylic.

I am originally from Bristol but moved to Port Talbot, Wales with my husband David a few years ago.

I love to paint the land and seascapes that now surround me , which is so refreshing having lived in a hustling bustling big city for most of my life.

I am told my style of painting is quirky, folk, but the comments i love the most is  – my paintings make people smile!!.

I have sold over 80 pieces of artwork since 2019 and won two awards in March 2021 in an international art contest for my works – Castell Coch, Tongwynlais and Scarlet macaws in the mountain almond tree.

I like to go off for the day and take unusual photographs or sketch something that catches my eye, I draw first and then paint .

Painting is my passion and i hope you enjoy my finished art works and they make you smile every time you pass them hanging on your wall.
