New Featured Artwork

The latest on my easel is one of the Black Dam Lions from Thornybush Nature Reserve.
A friend had taken a fabulous photo of this lion and I couldn't resist having a go! It was the scars on his face that drew me to him. The reality of fighting for his territory and place in the pride!

A bit about me...
I've always had a creative streak, but joining a local art class a few years ago changed everything. What began as a hobby quickly became a passion and opened the door to an exciting new chapter in my life.
Since then, I have embraced every opportunity to create, explore new techniques, and evolve as an artist.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Staffordshire riverside village where I live, I find endless inspiration in the changing landscapes and wildlife around me. Charcoal remains my favourite medium. I love its ability to create depth, drama, and expression, helping me capture the mood, texture, and energy of landscapes and animals.
Although charcoal is my favourite, I love to shake things up with bursts of colour, experimenting with acrylics and pastels to create works that are bold and vibrant and bringing an entirely different character to my artwork.
I hope that you enjoy following my journey through my gallery as I explore finding my style as it emerges!
