Flowers are my passion!   I love to grow them, photograph them and paint them. 

Intrigued by the beauty and complexity of nature, I love the challenge of being able to capture it.  I paint flowers that I have an emotional reaction to because of their colour, texture or shape. My work has been described as contemporary realism.  I display the flowers in a simple, modern way with no background.   

My preferred medium is watercolour.  It has been described as the most challenging medium but the results are worth it.   Watercolour allows me to paint soft and delicate or bright and bold.   I also like the challenge of painting white on white.

I find painting very relaxing and a wonderful way to deal with the stresses of life.    It is exciting to start with a blank sheet of paper and end with a finished painting.   It is always a surprise.
