I am a figurative and observational painter exploring a wide variety of subject matter, always looking for abstract qualities in what I see before me. I paint in oils on board or linen canvas, while my work on paper is in pencil, charcoal and chalk, pastels and watercolours, and sometimes combinations of these, so you can see that my preference is for traditional media. My pictures are signed “tid”, a childhood nickname.

I live in Surrey, about four miles south of Dorking, and I very much enjoy welcoming interested visitors. If you would like to call in at any time then do either email me or give me a call or text on 07972 198430. You can come to see what work is in progress, to enjoy the framed paintings in my small gallery or to leaf through drawings, and you are under no obligation whatsoever to buy or to commission work.

There is work available for sale: cards and booklets from £2.50 and unframed drawings and watercolours from around £50. Framed work starts at about £100 for a small watercolour, up to £600 or more for a larger oil painting. Each year in June, under the Surrey county scheme, Paul and I open our house to visitors on several different days; full details and directions can be found at www.surreyopenstudios.org.uk. My husband is a wood turner who has collected many admirers of his beautiful and original work.
