Working on copper and brass sheets
Travelling and painting are my two passions. I am a pioneer of mixed media paintings on copper and brass metal sheets using fire, various patination chemicals, site-specific found materials, natural weathering, pastels and spray paints. My paintings are impressionistic to give a mood and emotional response. The processes I use are experimental and are not an exact science. They can give unpredicted effects in the detail, especially when using bonfires with uneven heat, or open up surface possibilities by weathering and erosion when left in my garden over time. I enjoy the challenge of developing my images by working with nature and chemistry. I was made a member of The society of Woman Artists in 2022 and won The Derwent special Fine Art Established Artists award for Copper Storm.
