I am an oil painter inspired by the beauty of landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, and architecture. I love the versatility of oil paint—its ability to be applied in transparent washes, fluid layers, or rich, textured strokes. Light is at the heart of my work, and I strive to capture its changing qualities, creating paintings that evoke atmosphere, warmth, and a subtle sense of glow. Through each piece, I hope to share the beauty and emotion I find in the world around me.

I began printmaking when I retired from education and went on a course at Bucks College. I became fascinated by etching which enables me to add atmosphere and detail to my prints. Since then I have begun to use the same inspiration to produce collographs and fused glass.
The inspiration for my work is the landscape of the Yorkshire Dales where I grew up, especially Swaledale which is beautiful. I also draw inspiration from the flowers and trees that I saw walking to and from school as a child.

I am a studio-based potter producing decorative and functional ceramics.
After learning to throw on the wheel in 2021 I bought a kiln and set up a little garden studio.
I prefer to work with smooth white and black stoneware, paper clay and porcelain. Colour is very important and I experiment with a range of glazes.
I enjoy both wheel throwing and hand building and I am inspired by nature and my Chinese heritage.
In 2025 I had an exhibition at The River & Rowing Museum. In 2026 I took part in The Henley Arts Trail.

I create visually stimulating and immersive installations using mixed media, with a focus on technical materials, often incorporating glass. Through my work, I express my interest in representing the early symptoms of Macular Degeneration, a visual impairment. People with this sight deficiency can experience warped lines and movement, like an optical illusion. I use this as inspiration for my work, playing with recreating symptoms.

I love the mouldability of metal and the fragility of glass. I enjoy exploring the possibilities of both materials, pushing the boundaries of what is technically achievable. The interaction between the viewer and the object is very important to me. I want my work to be an experience!

Following a career in cartography, I did a degree in Graphic Design at Thames Valley University in 2009. Following that I did a part time local college course in basic art techniques. Voluntary artwork followed including a series of nature illustrations for interpretation boards for Henley Town Council. I took a break about five years ago from hands-on art. The files selected are samples from the ten year period I was most active. The CAMERA was part of my degree course "Artists Book" and is made from paper and card. The IRON is a pencil sketch. The watercolour PORTRAIT is of a fellow student. The APPLES were used on the Henley Community Orchard interpretation board.
