Bridort Open Studios 2019
This year I am showing in a town centre location - venue 42

Also showing at The LSI in Bridport and at The Gallery, Symondsbury

Colours of Dorset 2019
Another successful show with Lynne Grace, many visitors and sales encouraging us to book again for next year!

The winter of 2018/19 is giving me a time to reflect on my practice and develop my interest in interiors.
I am creating a range of large and small paintings using my home and studio as inspiration, these are in progress.

Alongside these paintings I am working from my early memories of interiors, those places where I spent my childhood and glimpsed into the world my parents were making for themselves.
Beginning with small sketch book pieces and then working these up into large A1 drawings I am exploring an alternative way to express myself.
All new work will be shown at Eype Centre for the Arts in June/July 2019.














The winter of 2017/18 was a productive time for me. I have been attempting to paint more intuitively, allowing the process to move at its own pace, exploring the potential of colour with expressive mark making, while continuing to be inspired by the Dorset coastal landscapes and interiors.
Subjects have included landscape views from my studio, sea side images and cats, with sizes ranging from 16x11cm to 102x102cm.
I have produced 30 + new paintings to be exhibited with other recent work, over the summer of 2018 across 5 venues.
See Home page and About for more details.

2016 promises to be a year of transition...After many years of working directly from observation, I will be focusing my attention on the study of planes and surfaces and the spaces in between.
The theme of interior and exterior landscapes with reduced detail and enhanced use of complimentary colours to direct the eye into an uncertain scene, one of familiarity and oddness, inviting the viewer to wonder at the narrative and /or create their own.

Welcome to Skylark Studio...

Skylark studio welcomed many visitors and together we had a very successful Open Studio - thanks to everyone  who came and enjoyed!

2014 marks the beginning of a new approach to my image making, concentrating on observation from nature and domestic environments.
I will be focusing on depth, and spatial relationship between objects and context, limiting my palette to enhance a feeling of time and place.

2013 was a year of transition, illustrated with three significant paintings:

Departing

Time to fly

Becoming
