Meet The Maker
I only started open water swimming in November 2018. I have always been inspired by where I live and I feel incredibly lucky to have such an array of natural beauty on my doorstep. Yet, it took me until my first salt water swim where I felt my creativity, passions and love of the outdoors collide. I wasn’t a printmaker or an artist before then but the positive energy and emotions that I feel while being free and out in the open gave me the nudge I needed to try something new. The wild swimming community is a welcoming, nonjudgmental community and they inspire me as much as my dips. I wanted to create something for them, as much as myself, and share my underwater world with curious folk like you too.
If you want to learn more about how I create my art and hear my story check out my short video.
While my first love is the water, I am just as inspired by other aspects of the natural world. Wildflowers, the Devon countryside and local fauna have all featured in my work and these are subjects I hope to explore further over the next few years.
“Wonderful prints that capture the each subject just brilliantly, and a lovely lady too”
