Great art collections start with connection, not credentials. You don’t need to study art to collect it—just notice what moves you. When a piece makes you pause, pulls you in, or sparks a feeling you can’t quite name, that’s your starting point. Collecting art is ultimately about trusting your instincts, celebrating creativity, and bringing meaning into your everyday world.

My landscapes are about capturing the raw feeling of the place.

This year I set myself the challenge of painting every stage of the 2025 Women’s Tour of Britain in June and the Men’s Tour of Britain in September. The result is a unique collection capturing the speed, colour, and spirit of Britain’s biggest cycling events – from city sprints to mountain climbs and rolling countryside roads.
