I’ve found a deep and unexpected connection to the wildlife of Yorkshire, which now forms the heart of my work and in which, I’ve found endless inspiration. My work centres on whimsical depictions of these animals, often portrayed in playful or tender moments of unlikely friendship, from Red Squirrels & Blue tit birds to Mallard ducks & Hedgehogs. All my work is done in soft pastels on Pastel paper.
I’m a stay at home mum, pastel artist from South Africa, born into a creative family where both my parents are artists. Growing up surrounded by art, I naturally found my own voice through soft pastels, drawn to their immediacy, texture, and gentle strength.
