Bodyscapes are my passion - representing fleeting moments of unique shapes and shadows, forever lost unless captured at a single point in time. Deeply personal and intimate, each body's curves and outlines offer unique blends of light and shade, captured in monochromatic oils, predominantly on linen canvas.

I discovered drawing and painting in 2018 after retiring and I was surprised that I was able to produce reasonable basic work!

My father was an art teacher but I had never had an interest in learning art. To discover how much I could fall in love with painting, and in particular watercolour was a revelation to me!
