The Sea The Sea! Greeting Cards


The wild coastline of the United Kingdom has inspired many stories of brave sailors and fishermen who risk their lives on the rough seas.  Artists create paintings that tell a story of these harbors and their ships. I use poetry to collage evocative images that remind us of the salty air and the sound of crashing waves on the seashore.

This series of artworks were made following visits to Cornwall and are available as prints, greeting cards and coasters or table mats.
 

​The painting below was made for a commission and is based on the poems of Gerard Manly Hopkins. The poems were chosen by the client  and are particularly meaningful  as her father was a fisherman at Whitby Harbour.

​The Nene Valley stretches from West Northamptonshire all the way through Peterborough and has the  Nene river flowing through it. The landscape is surrounded by lush farmland and old villages with hidden footpaths connecting them together. I have always used this landscape as the basis for my artwork showing the wildlife and hills of my home.

My artwork frequently uses a range of mixed media techniques that have also incorporated words. In recent years this has become more important and now collage is a major part of my work which often uses words poetry. The lines  of various poems have been woven into my imagery - segments of which can be read. 

The wide range of habitats such as wildflower meadows, wetlands, marshes, woodlands and wet grasslands are full of a diverse range of animals and birds. These offer endless inspiration for my artwork on a daily basis as I live right on the edge of a stunning nature reserve near the towns of Higham Ferrers, Irthlingborough and Rushden.
