My work is often described as contemporary impressionism, I am not sure if that is an accurate description, evocative landscapes might be more appropriate. One thing I do know is that I am becoming obsessed by wild colour! The new collection #Playtime is going to be absolutely full of it!
I have had the most extraordinary week in my studio painting obsessively! Do check out my Instagram feed for the latest updates. If you’re a Pinterest fan you can find images of my latest work there and on my Facebook page. I can’t wait to show you the real things in the spring!
Our lives are a series of stories and colour can change the way they are told. With my playtime palette I aim to take you on a journey and remind you of brighter days and faraway trips with an oasis of wild, luscious colour and vibrancy.
In my early collections I loved working with paints in powerful primary colours.
Irresistible Desire 2 was featured on the cover of Viva Lewes in 2007
In collections that followed such as Stories Without Words , Adventure and Joy the colours were quieter and although I love the simple beauty in natural, muted colours it was wonderful to work with electrifying, powerful primary colours again for my Passion collection.
Passion 4
Dancing with colour in my last collection was so thrilling recklessly painting with shocking pinks and bold blues.
Reckless 2
I feel so incredibly inspired at the moment, painting with such gorgeous colours is definitely making me smile and I hope it will make you all smile too! I have made a Pinterest Board called ‘Playing With Colour’ packed full of all the wild colours of the rainbow that are inspiring Playtime!
So important not to let January feel grey!
