Bio

I am a contemporary pastel artist whose work explores atmosphere, light, and the quiet emotional resonance of landscape and place. My practice is a diary in paint. Through walking, observation and drawing, I use the layered possibilities of pastels to allow a poetic, intergenerational voice to emerge in my dialogue with the trees and paths I move through. Childhood woodland walks and landscapes continue to influence my practice, the sense of others having walked here before me, leaving an imprint and trace of themselves. The historical echo of a place is a recurring thread in my work.

In 2026 I was elected a member of The Pastel Society, following being chosen for the West Dean Award at the Society’s annual exhibition in 2025. I have been a member of the Cambridge Drawing Society since 2000, and in 2025 received the People’s Choice Award.

My work is held in private collections internationally and continues to develop through an ongoing studio practice.
