"I strive for representative and realistic images.
I believe art should have the power to transform the commonplace into the exceptional.
I look for beauty in the simplest subjects: foliage, grasses and raindrops"
In addition to my paintings, I am writing a series of books, Watercolour Secrets. There are currently two titles available from Amazon:
Watercolour Secrets: Raindrops
Watercolour Secrets: Coastal Plants
Having read your husband Mike’s travel books in quick succession, I wanted to see your work, which he mentions. I’m so glad I did, these are absolutely enchanting pictures. If I can find wall space, I shall buy a print!

Saw the article in the art of Watercolour this month and love your work. I am a recent artist in pastels and now taking lessons in watercolour because I love botanical paintings.
Love your work!
Thank you for your kind comments. I learnt to paint in watercolour at night school classes. Then studied botanical art with the Society of Botanical Artists. I have painted in watercolour for many years, and love painting detailed and complex images, particularly raindrops. I think the results have just come on gradually with lots of practice. Once again thanks for your feedback.
Where/how did you learn to achieve the skills to produce such amazing & detailed work? The realistic detail is astonishing. When viewing your leaf in an artist magazine, I magnified your painting several times & still it was difficult to work out that this was a painting, so real. I look forward to viewing your website. Such skill is breath taking.
Thank you
beautifull
