The colours and forms found in nature together with traditional Folk Art from Northern Europe and Scandinavia are a constant inspiration for me. I am continually torn between the representational and abstract, the result of this is that my work features elements of each. I work intuitively across a variety of mediums, including paint, print and collage and textiles choosing whatever feels “right” for a particular piece of work.
