Bright, vibrant, fun - my collage paintings are quirky and colourful. Each one is individually created for a different effect. If you are searching for beautiful, original artwork at an affordable price, you’re in the right place!
I work in a variety of media to produce paintings and drawings in a wide range of colours and textures. They can be anything: landscapes, still life, abstracts….then I tear them up and reconstruct them into quirky collages.
My favourite subjects are from the natural world – fossils, insects, plants and animals – although if you have an idea for an alternative subject, I’d certainly give it a go.
Unlike many collage artists, I don’t generally use printed snippets from newspapers and magazines – the painted fragments are all my own. Once the design is in place, I set to work embellishing it with metallic inks, glitter and gems, and the whole piece is finally sealed with transparent water-based glue to keep everything in place.
All works featured on these pages are for sale (unless they've found a good home already). Please click on any image to go through to the gallery.

My husband Mark is an artist too. We open our home studio occasionally for events such as art weeks and charity open garden days.
