"Hammer House" Painting

I never really know what to write, or even how to  talk about myself especially when it comes to ones own topic.  

So I will keep this  brief.

I am a  UK-based artist who earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Communication from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia in 1998.
​
I travelled a lot, lived in Australia , which was my home for 7 years.  Moved  back  to the UK and subsequently moved around the Southcoast area such as Brighton, Lymington, Southampton, Isle of Wight until settling back to Bournemouth.  

I became a Teacher in 2002, and taught Design and Art at Brockenhurst College for 6 years. In 2016 I went to college and  studied counselling and received a diploma in art therapy.  

During my training, I had a small business in Pokedown  for three years, in which I  sold and exhibited Art, made coffees and  sold Vintage clothing with my dear friend  Rob.

This is where I started my Art therapy workshops for  several charities and non profit organisations., such as B'EAT, BCHA,  Richmond Fellowship, Rise and so on.  
​
I have been fortunate to have exhibited work in locations across UK , including Brighton where I lived for several years, Bournemouth and  London, I  also exhibited my work at Brush Gallery  in Singapore.
​
Over the years I have  sold many  works to collectors around the world. One particular piece is owned by a well-known figure from the band The Jam.

I was fortunate to have also  worked on  several commissioned  works for  branding  US reality  shows such as  Gas Monkey, and Orange County Choppers. I have also worked with record labels such as Azuli records and generated album covers for Space Ibiza.
​
In the last few years I have been primarily focusing on painting and exploring my own creative techniques.  Playing on the quirky and whimsical  narrative  and  utilising my  intuition  when it comes to creating my pieces. 
​
I do not like to  limit my style,  but rather I see  it as a journey of self-expression. I love  combining  textures and blending  vivid colours together, and most of the time I have no idea where the final piece will take me, I just tend to carry on till I say 'It's Done..' 
​
Once again Thank you for visiting my Saatchi Studio. .

I will be happy to discuss anything ( well not anything ) you understand what I mean ..
