Thank you to everyone who came to visit during Norfolk Open Studios. I’m absolutely delighted that I sold 12 paintings during the event, despite the lower number of visitors and the fuel situation! It really means a lot to have your support.

It’s been a month of glorious sunsets – this recent photograph was taken at Burnham Overy Staithe on the North Norfolk coast. The beauty of Creation never fails to captivate and inspire me. I’m sure there will be some sunset inspired paintings coming soon!

Have you seen my new commissions page that I’ve just added to my website? There’s a bit more to add to it but you can take a quick look at it here.
Short and sweet this month as I’m busy preparing for my first ever Art Fair – more about this coming shortly…
Are looking for something special and unique for your home?
Then a commission may be just the thing. Commissions are very personal and it’s an exciting process to create a bespoke painting that will bring a room to life. There is nothing I enjoy more. A commission offers you, the client, the opportunity to discuss your ideas in detail, to create a painting that will perfectly suit the interior of your room and meet your needs. The aim is to work closely with you ensuring you are part of the creative process.
I want you to feel confident in my ability to create something that perfectly compliments your home.
Costs for a commission vary depending on what is required. I usually ask for a deposit before I begin with which to cover the initial discussion and the materials. I also accept installment/payments during the commission process.
A commission usually takes 6 – 10 weeks depending on my schedule. However, if you have a specific deadline, please let me know I’d be happy to discuss this with you. To inquire about commissioning a painting, please contact me.

This month has been busy getting ready for Norfolk Open Studios. At long last I’ve had the luxury of installing an under flooring heating system so my feet can now stay warm during the winter! A big thank you to Mr Ross for his hard work and to Norfolk Alarms Limited for laying the heat mat and wiring everything up. I’m thrilled as it’s a dream come true! My studio feels complete at last! It was a big upheaval getting everything out and now it’s tidying and sorting all the stuff that artists seem to collect.
Big studio tidy up!
Thank you to any new subscribers who have signed up to my mailing list/newsletter I hope you enjoyed the fresh new look.

I’m participating in an art trail with still life painter Nicholas Elliott who lives in Fakenham – we’re very much look forward to seeing you.
What are you up to this month? The weather isn’t that sunny or hot and it’s a grey, drizzly kind of day as I’m writing this month’s inspirations.
Collecting my latest paintings from Great Walsingham gallery and framers for a group show at Sea Pictures Gallery in Clare, Suffolk
Lovely visit from Sarah at Sea Pictures Gallery who came to collect four new paintings for their next show called ‘Sea Nature’ which opens on 9th September. To find out more visit the website: https://www.seapicturesgallery.com/
For those who came to visit me during North Norfolk Studios in the Spring will know that I love gardening.. here is how it’s looking this August. I adore ‘Agapanthus’ and Mr Ross loves these vibrant ‘Black eyed Susie’s’ What a zing they’re given to everyone who visits.
Sometimes I pray a simple prayer over the canvas – it helps me to connect with what my heart wants to paint.
This month is all about new beginnings and is something I want to encourage any artist to try this month.
I started this large piece as a reaction to the first lockdown in March 2020. I wanted to explore new colours and brush marks. It was all very experimental and I wasn’t sure if I liked it or wanted to keep it – (some of you may have seen it during my solo exhibition at Salthouse church last August). After some deep thinking I decided to work back over it and to create something that felt more like ‘me’!
Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what more ‘me’ feels like, but having created hundred’s of artworks over the years I know it’s when I just focus on the process of making art rather than the final results!
Lots to do, but I’m feeling more connected with how the paint is working and it feels more like ‘me’ !
Preparing to video my online art class!
Yes – it’s finally happening. This month I’ve started filming my first ever online art course. It’s challenging, but I’m determined to see this through. If you’re at all interested in progressing your art and learning from me then sign up to my mailing list for a special introductory offer.
July Art Workshop at Burnham Overy Staithe, North Norfolk.
Whilst the forecast was set for thunder storms – the early morning rain stopped just in time! Allowing us to get outside to sketch the atmospheric soft light – well done everyone who came.
Sketching the light and incoming tideFirst time using acrylics for this student. I love the way she has captured the mood and soft atmosphere of the day.
