I am an artist based in York, specialising in acrylics. My artistic journey began in 2021, learning basic acrylic techniques with short courses from Will Kemp Art School. Since then, I have been pursuing a bright and bold modern impressionist style under the tuition of Ali Kay Studio, falling in love with the expressive and freeing techniques.
In my work, I use vivid colours from a limited palette, and complementary underpainting to create vibrant and cohesive art works, of a variety of subjects. I’m particularly passionate about painting nature and animals, capturing their essence with both expressive bold brushstrokes and stunning colour. I continue to explore floral and nature-related subjects, along with new challenges, to broaden my artistic horizons.
I have exhibited art works in a number of exhibitions within and around York, and have held stalls at a number of local fairs, including the York River Art Market.
Charity is also important to me, and I have used my art to raise money for a number of charitable causes, including raffling pet portraits for animal rescue charities close to my heart, and creating a 12-piece collection of Yorkshire landscape paintings to sell to raise funds for Cancer Research UK and Dementia UK.
