Her expressive landscapes may be wild and windswept, but they also gleam with an inner light.

I love the changing moods of light, colour and atmosphere, and I am fascinated with the vibrancy of change, the point of “in-between” .
ARTIST STATEMENT
“The atmosphere of place, which I find, heightens my senses. A feeling of being in the “now” with the elemental forces, whether they are wild or calm. I respond not only to the outer scenes but have a sense of soul responding. A kind of Celtic longing, responding to the moods of the sea, whether it is light dancing on still waters or the raging waves , and the wind driven on to the land. This inner response is reflected in my paintings with colour and movement, enhanced by the inner eye, as opposed to a photographic reproduction.”
