In her own words:

Horses are my life and inspiration and they pervade all areas of my life. I suppose it was inevitable that this passion which started to grow in early childhood would become my life path, matched only by a thirst for art that would lead me to my eventual career as an equine artist.

My aim is to try and portray some of the untamed spirit and ethereal beauty of one of God’s most magical creations, the horse.

I consider myself so very fortunate that I am able to combine my passions, and now run a small stud farm in partnership with my husband, here in rural West Wales in the UK. I am endlessly inspired by the constant supply of inspiration for my work. My fear is that I won’t have the time to paint them all, as I would need several lifetimes!

Working mainly in oils I always try to capture the light and atmosphere as well as the dramatic forms and colours of the horse in my pieces. Whether a peaceful tranquil scene of a mare and foal or the fine dash and fire of an Arabian stallion. Oils have a superbly rich texture and quality to them that I love. When I paint I sometimes feel that I am almost sculpting with colour and light. I liken it to getting into the picture and modelling the horse in three dimensions. When I am painting hours can drift by so absorbed do I become in feeling the texture of the coat, looking at the way the muscles move, capturing the soul in the eye. What is he thinking? Which way will he move next? How does the light play on the colour of his coat?

Ultimately, I would like the observer of my work to feel as drawn into the scene as I have been, to have a sense of the moment in life that is there. Whether I succeed in this mission or not there is no doubt that I will continue to try as I cannot imagine my life without my horses or my art!
