Welcome to my website.
My first home was my grandparents' cottage, tied to the Wood House estate in Tettenhall, UK, from which I've adopted my name. My grandfather was head gardener, and some of my earliest memories are of 'helping' him with his work.
Nowadays, some of my favourite times (along with making art and walking Monty, my dog) are spent in my own untidy but much-loved garden, as well as visits to bigger and grander gardens open to visitors. I'm lucky that there are some wonderful gardens just a short drive from where I live in North Norfolk, UK. I love to surrender to the sights, scents and ambience of a garden.
Maybe this is why I find myself turning more and more to flowers, plants and gardens for inspiration in my artwork, with watercolour my preferred medium.
Below are some recent flower and garden paintings.
