The Rose Painting

Working from her studio in Hampshire UK, surrounded by inspiring countryside on a farm which has a wonderful garden, wildflowers, and ancient woodlands. Watching nature daily and making photographic/sketching diaries, she is never short of inspiration for her paintings, drawings, and designs. She enjoys discovering new mixed media techniques and using them in combination with her classical painting experience to portray the wildlife she has been studying and loving through the years. Often, she begins with small sketches and gradually works into to larger paintings. These can be in oils, acrylic or a variety of mixed media - whatever feels right to fit the emotion and feeling of the piece.
