About

A memory that I have and will always think of as one of the main reasons for drawing and painting throughout my whole life is from when I was 4 years old, sitting on the lounge floor, with my Mum and Dad trying to teach me how to draw a Lego box and an apple, with shading, reflections and perspective.

 

Both my parents, and my gorgeous Husband are all brilliant artists, as were all my Grandparents, so I have very luckily been surrounded for my whole life by huge talent and somehow it all got soaked up, memorised, practiced (with the odd failure along the way) and refined, which has resulted, at the ripe old age of 31, in letting my 14 year full time career as a fashion model take a bit of a back step in order to prioritise my art, a passion which has been hibernating but brewing my whole life.

At the age of 8, we moved to the South of France and I grew up on a 400 year old delapidated farm with lots of land which my parents restored with their bare hands. Being a child and teenager I wasn’t much help, so I spent my time running around the fields on which my parents let the local farmers grow their corn and wheat. The inspiration behind my art is that. The wind rushing up from the valley and rippling through the wheat fields, the sun streaking through the branches of the old oak trees and casting flowing streaks of light and shadow… And the vast rolling hills, starry skies, and the horizons that stretched as far as the eye could see.
