I paint from my studio in Eastry and draw my inspiration from the lovely

flowers in my garden and the beautiful buildings in the surrounding area.

I started to paint in watercolour but have recently experimented with colour pencils for my botanical work and lately with acrylics. Working with acrylic paint has enabled me to tackle much larger paintings which I am enjoying very much. I haven't given up the watercolours and pencils though. Some examples of my more botanical images can be seen on the web site. The painting of the rose Telford's Promise shown on the botanical page was exhibited at the Society of Botanical Artist's exhibition in April 2009.
