ABOUT

Twenty years ago a wonderful poet and friend of mine, Paul Matthews, said to me with great feeling, "you understand beauty."

​

I have pondered on that statement ever since, and he is right - "understanding beauty" is what I strive to do each day.

​

A flower is like a beautiful piece of music that you never want to end from the first pulse of life to its last at death. 

 

After a career in the film industry I became a mother. All the moments of my life pointing me towards flowers came together and I built my own flower garden. My photography is self-taught. What began as a struggle three years ago now fascinates me: I find myself excited at the prospect of the next image and developing my technique.

 

Completely immersing myself in the world of flowers has become a way of life and a joy. My muse is always interesting, always amazing,  each flower a perfect planet of creative possibilities explored.

 

All the flowers in my photographs I grow in my flower field and photograph in my studio in Hove, with the exception of winter flowers which come from a wonderful florist in Brighton and Hove Gobotanica
