Crimson Lily
I was influenced by the artists of the 20’s in this linocut. Simple lines and clear shapes Linocut 23 x 17.5cm

This painting is all about those annoying sheep who refuse to be counted. There they are – leaping out of the pen, eating cake and generally being very annoying. Watercolour 48 x 38cm SOLD

Lark Song
Her cat is feigning indifference but she feels drawn to the song of the lark that surrounds her. Acrylic on wood 30 x 30cm SOLD
Interesting creatures
Her oneness with her dogs and their interlocking shapes as they rest together was inspired by the sense one has of the understanding of mood that many animals have, particularly dogs. Acrylic on wood 30 x 30cm SOLD
