En-plein-air

She enjoys working with the changing light of the outdoors as she loves the beauty of the natural world.  Working quickly is necessary to capture the magical moments of the changing landscape, the light, the shadows.  She strives to find beauty in the ordinary, appreciating the little details that often go unnoticed.

Mall Galleries, London

Patchings Art Fair, Nottingham

Moreton Gallery, Cotswold
