I have Lived in Wales for over 40 years and love the colour and light! I use paint as a way to express how I feel. After painting my way through breast cancer in 2012/13 with 115 watercolours, I am now painting my way through the grief of losing my husband and my mother within six months. I’ve been posting and reeling on social media since August 2022 and have created over 200 paintings. I have always found painting therapeutic, so I really feel it has helped me survive.
I feel so lucky to live in such an amazing part of the world where the colours and skies are so inspirational and the weather plays a big part in the mood of my work. I am constantly watching the ever-changing colours and especially the way it affects the atmosphere and the shadow tones. I’ve managed to paint 21 self portraits over the past 40 years and enjoy a challenge. I like to think they give an insight into my life which has been on a bit of a roller coaster, but I’m ready for the next decade!
