Artist Statement
“When I paint I feel my heart opens with a love of life. I’m deeply inspired by nature and I’m passionately driven in developing uplifting paintings that are enriched with a positive and energetic vibe. Every morning I awake full of gratitude to be able to follow my heart and paint and can’t ever imagine my life without painting.
My inspiration comes from my childhood, nature, flowers, bird watching, long walks, the changing seasons, exploring forests, gazing at the stars, climbing mountains, meditating, swimming in the sea and lazy days in wild meadows. I have an ever-evolving gallery of paintings from welsh landscapes, wildflowers, forests, butterflies, nature and the sea.
Paintings are created with love, using a variety of mixed media, acrylics, oils, inks and textural pastes. I adore creating tactile paintings which are begging to be touched. It’s a delight working on a blank canvas seeing my painting emerge from the raw to the organic state. I’m a prolific painter and over the 10 years I’ve sold over 3000 paintings; online, at art exhibitions and art galleries to collectors in the UK, USA, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Rome, Greece, Malaysia, Spain Malta and Ireland. These hang in private homes, nightclubs, churches and restaurants. One of my clients is a premier league football player.”
Exhibition runs until 18th June
