My Story

“My mesmerising fluid art creations are inspirational additions to any home or place of work. My work will captivate and draw you in, make you think and make you smile.”

Fluid Art Addict

My fluid art addiction began in 2019 when my daughter, Sam, sent me some images on her phone.

Sam had lit a flame within me that year, and her examples of fluid art were the catalyst for my own adventure.

In January 2020 I gathered the essential kit, spent an inordinate amount of time on YouTube and the internet and began experimenting with various fluid art techniques.

Playing with potions, paints, pouring mediums and pigments is a complex affair with an abundance of different recipes, ratios, brands and techniques. No sooner had I acquired “the essential materials” for one method, another would beguile me necessitating yet more vital supplies.

Nothing is fair in love and fluid art

I had failure after failure and vowed to quit countless times – but I have determination (my husband would call it stubbornness), and an overriding will to succeed, so every day I would start again with renewed optimism.

The process is often more like alchemy than art – success comes not just with the choice of recipe ingredients but the proportions, consistencies, and the method employed to move the fluid on the surface.

Nothing is fixed and constant as new mediums and methods appear with astonishing regularity, so there is always more to explore in the realm of fluid art and more to learn. 

My Fluid Art Obsession

I have had so many creative adventures since those early days , and have enjoyed some remarkable success taking me to where I am now - an abstract realist without boundaries or definition.

My addiction to fluid art persists, as I adore the magical presentation of its multi coloured cellular formations, the mutation, the movement and its unpredictable forms. My constant thirst for growth, development and challenge urges me to explore new techniques and possibilities to add further dimension to my creation. This evolution, combining fluid art, sculptural elements, texture and mixed media can bring huge dynamism to a composition resulting in something quite extraordinary.

Communicating a visual message which elicits an emotional reaction is particularly gratifying - I succeeded in bridging emotion and science with my acclaimed portfolio on breast cancer, “Breast or Beast”.

The next chapter? I continue to exhibit, experiment, and inspire through creativity, so for me, more exhibitions, more story telling, more breaking boundaries and more fun!
