layers, and the image develops<br />
over time. Painting in oil<br />
means I can change shapes<br />
and positions and colours<br />
until I have created a dynamic<br />
I am satisfied with. I work<br />
on an image until I can go<br />
no further, then move onto<br />
another: I am always working<br />
on at least five at a time. Then<br />
I return to it – dry or wet –<br />
with a fresh mind. Sometimes<br />
I scratch back paint to reveal<br />
the different colours beneath.<br />
There’s a lot of texture to the<br />
paintings.<br />

I swim in the sea every day, and while this<br />
painting appears to be depicting a vase of<br />
flowers, it is really about the effect of the water<br />
and my memory of its colours.<br />

Contemporary Art<br />
I started the gallery with my<br />
husband Robin, six years ago.<br />
We realised there weren’t many<br />
fine art galleries in <strong>Brighton</strong>,<br />
and wanted to fill that niche.<br />
He can’t even draw a stick<br />
man but he’s very creative and<br />
knowledgeable about fine art.<br />
On… the effect of her work<br />
I like my work to be uplifting<br />
and joyful. I love what one<br />
buyer told me: “When I open<br />
the door and see the painting,<br />
I feel like someone’s given me a fresh bunch of<br />
flowers. And that happens every day!” AL<br />
