Girlie-Glam-I

 

I’m a habitual early riser, as at 6.30 in the morning my four noisy dogs are already asking to be taken for a walk. This is a lovely way to start the day as I’m an outdoor girl at heart, and whatever the weather it sets me up for a productive few hours. After breakfast, I always try to be in the studio by 8.30, and as it’s a room that we built on to the garage I have no excuse to be late. I generally try to work through to the early evening, when once more I take the dogs out and, if time allows, pay a visit to the gym. In some ways it’s a solitary day, but the hours fly by and I thoroughly enjoy my work. I am naturally quite a shy person and I find painting is a great way of expressing myself, and saying what I really feel!

I have many passions, which are as varied as life. They include animals, fashion, the great outdoors... all these things have inspired me to paint. I also love to travel both for the sheer pleasure of seeing the world and for the opportunity to store up ideas for my next set of paintings! I often feel that rather than me choosing a subject, it chooses me through my own emotional response to something. I may be laughing at a funny face, feeling becalmed by a beautiful sky, or experiencing excitement looking in a shoe shop window...! All these things make me feel the urge to pick up a paintbrush and go for it! I have learnt to make sure I am never without my sketch book in one hand and my camera in the other, as I need to record these ideas on paper to remind me of exactly how I felt at the time.

My grandad was always drawing pictures to amuse me, and I have an uncle who is an artist; these two individuals probably represent the strongest personal influences on my work. I do admire a great many famous artists of course, but am unable to cite any one in particular as being a major figure in my artistic development.
