Inspired by the Cornish Coast


The Cornish coast is my sole inspiration, most specifically the water’s edge and the spaces between high and low tide. Walking, photographing, gathering, writing, sketching, collage and painting are all part of my interdisciplinary art practice. 

Exploration is at the heart of my approach - with each series of work, I investigate new ways to express my fascination with the water's edge and the ‘tiny treasures’ found there. 

Rich surfaces, colourful coastal palettes and expressive mark-making draw the viewer closer and evoke memories of favourite coastal places and things. Shapes, colours and textures observed at the meeting of land and sea are constant motifs in my work.

These new pieces are assemblages of work on paper, fabric and canvas, incorporating stitch, print, cyanotype, textured surfaces and collage. We are really proud of them! Some pieces have now sold but the remaining ones are now available HERE on my website.
