A British realist with a modernist vision. Her paintings are inspired by nature and her cheeky sense of humour. Dreamy delicate brush strokes abound every canvas where she captures the secret lives of animals. Every character comes to life on canvas.
一位有着现代主义眼光的英国现实主义者。她的绘画灵感来自大自然和她的厚脸皮的幽默感。梦幻般细腻的笔触充斥着每一幅画布，她捕捉着动物的秘密生活。每个角色都在画布上活了起来。
I really focus on those glances our pets give us. We think of them as having human emotions and I try to capture that. It’s how we connect with the animals in our lives. Hopefully I bring just enough to the work for the viewer to create their own story for the subject. I want the viewer to be part of the creative process.
我真的专注于我们的宠物给我们的那些眼神。我们认为它们具有人类的情感，我试图捕捉这一点。这就是我们与生活中的动物联系的方式。希望我能给作品带来足够的东西，让观众为这个主题创造自己的故事。我想让观众成为创作过程的一部分。
