BEHIND THE PASSION:
MY STORY

I’m a contemporary Christian artist working from a peaceful studio on the edge of the Cotswolds—a beautiful, rural retreat that brings fresh inspiration each day. I’m often left in awe of Creation, which gently points me back to the One who created it all. The light, the landscapes, and even the tiniest details in nature stir my heart and reflects the faith that shapes my creativity. It’s here that I paint, create, and welcome others to share in the calm, the views, and the joy of making art.
From a young age, I was always drawn to creativity - sketching, painting and spending time outdoors. I often painted horses and if I wasn't painting, I was outside setting up showjumping courses for my dog, Polly, or my imaginary pony. Art became my passion , and I pursued it through GCSE's, 'A' levels and a Foundation year in Art and Design, planning to study it at degree level.
While my love for art remained, I was also drawn to the healthcare sector. Torn between nursing and becoming a graphic designer, I worked in healthcare and gradually stopped painting. After the birth of my third child and while working in a hospice, I returned to painting as a way to relax.
In 2019, I left the hospice to pursue art full-time. By 2022, as my art supplies had overtaken the house, I started looking for a premises to rent. It was then that I found my dream studio in a beautiful rural retreat, where I now create and welcome visitors to enjoy workshops, the artwork, the peaceful surroundings, and the stunning views.


I live in Chippenham, Wiltshire a short distance from my studio in Long Dean, near Castle Combe with my 'children' Sophie, Luke and Isaac. We now have three pets. Nala, a half bengal cat with beautiful markings and a mischievous character (also a model for several of my paintings!) Then there is Molly and Leo, two gorgeous miniature dachshunds who I can honestly say have literally turned our lives upside down!
