Original Paintings.

The mainstay of my work is painting flower portraits. I don’t think of myself as a botanical painter and my work does not resemble that genre. I always paint from life and the aim is to capture the life and hidden personality of a plant or a flower and not just painstakingly painting the details. I produce larger than life size portraits of my sitters – mostly in Watercolour, and spend most of the time being with the flower, just observing and getting a sense of what the plants about – much like having a one sided conversation where I am the listener. I paint in Watercolour or Gouache.

Limited Edition Prints

“There is so much life and freedom in these plants that they still seem to be growing” – The Lady Magazine.

I don’t have a choice about painting flowers and plants. I don’t ‘do it’ somehow ‘it does me’ I also don’t choose my subjects, I feel they somehow choose me. 

My work can be found in homes and galleries all over the world, I take inspiration from wildness and natural beauty, and the colour and vibrancy of my garden.

I offer Limited Edition Prints of my paintings. They are £225 each and come mounted. I sign and number all prints and they are as close as is possible to the original painting in colour, texture and scale. All prints are available to send and p&p is £10.00 per print.

This is a small selection of the limited edition prints I offer. All are 56cm x76cm.
