Welcome to my On Line Gallery

I live and work in the famous artists' colony town of St Ives in West Cornwall. The majority of my work is regularly  exhibited at art galleries throughout St Ives and beyond. I am a member of The Cornwall Watercolour Society; Associate Member of Penwith Gallery St Ives and Member of The Arts Club St Ives.

My preferred way of working is with water based mediums. This allows me huge versatility so I can work en plein air in the wilds of the wonderful Cornish landscape that surrounds me, as well as in the wind free comfort of my studio!

I particularly enjoy embellishing  watercolour paintings  with collaged materials - whether  using coloured , patterned paper or through monoprints I have made myself.

My passion for flora and fauna and the energy of the naturel environment means I enjoy painting wild flowers, rocks, shellfish, as well as pounding seas & moody landscapes. I also love little cobbled streets, harbours and rusty boats - the essence of the Cornwall I love!

Cornwall Art Workshops is an exciting new venture set up in 2024, by myself and my art colleague Caroline Marwood. 

Caroline and I have worked together for a number of years painting and sketching together and exhibiting our work in joint shows across the town and Cornwall Open Studios. 

Caroline's talents lie particularly in printmaking, digital art , using oil and wax mediums, as well as traditional painting. We both have teaching qualifications and are experienced in leading creative art workshops for adults, in a wide variety of settings.

 We have been approached many times to start teaching locally and have finally decided to grasp this exciting opportunity. Our collective style of teaching is traditional skills based learning in a relaxed and friendly environment, with plenty of fun, friendship, tea, coffee and tasty treats!

Each Workshop is 3 hours in length and all materials are provided.

We  have chosen 4 beautiful locations for our venues, purposefully to take advantage of their inspirational settings which will be the basis for our collective creative focus. These are St Ives Arts Club, The Island Centre in St Ives,  Zennor Village Hall and Tresithney - Caroline's award winning and beautiful garden near St Ives.

Workshops include: Gelli plate printmaking, linocut, Collage, watercolour  painting skills, floral watercolour, En plein air painting, Making and using nature based inks , seasonal themed workshops that celebrate our stunning naturel environment.
