I am a vibrant colourist
I paint the inner world of dreams, archetypes and pure energy.
Symbols emerge which speak the language of the soul – the moon, spirals, trees, cherry blossom, feathers, birds and women’s bodies in all their beauty.
Colours, patterns and energies shimmer and swirl: there is a sense of flow and meditative movement in my paintings that demands contemplation from the viewer, a shifting to another state of being.
Using a multi-layered intuitive painting technique, I build up layer upon laye
r of rainbow colour: my paintings evolve from abstraction to dreamlike imagery.
My more recent work incorporates my new found love of zentangles.

I have also created logos for WomanCraft Publishing, Dreaming Aloud and Mindful Doulas.
Ephemeral Art
I also have a passion for creating ephemeral art: labyrinths of sand, pebble spirals, mandalas of flowers… I refer to them as random acts of beauty in the blog.
