​

I enjoy walking and sketching along this wild coast, and through its mosaic of heath, wetlands, and tall forests. 

​

This experience is transcribed to works in my studio. My first love is the elusive and infinitely suggestive medium of watercolour, but I enjoy using gouache, inks, cold wax medium, and various print-making techniques. As well as working on paper, I challenge myself by using water media on board primed with gesso or clay – surrendering a lot of control in the process.  I am drawn to the romantic tradition of landscape painting and seek to express the interplay between solid forms and fleeting moods conjured by light and weather.

My husband Graham and I also run Hallowell Press from our home studio, producing artisan books with a local focus.
