STILL LIFE
One of Alice's great passions is still life. She enjoys capturing nature at it's best. The textures, light and colours intrigue her and you can see this in every brush stroke.

LANDSCAPES
Following a hugely successful exhibition of her Essex landscapes Alice continues to paint the countryside she loves. Some of these paintings can be seen in her recent works alongside others created for those inspired by her work to commission paintings of the scenes they love themselves.
CHARCOALS
Alice has decided to explore the diverse Suffolk landscapes in charcoal. These drawings are done on hand made paper and framed in black simple frame to show off the diverse mark making charcoal can produce. Alice's love for the Suffolk landscape is captured softly here in snow and evening light.
Alice's flowers have been a staple part of her painting as she loves to capture the wonderful colours and soft textures of flowers from her garden and surrounding area in various jugs
INTERIORS/PEOPLE
Capturing light and personalities in her interiors is a must for Alice. She is inspired by the light through a window and the personalities of spaces. This also comes across in her scenes with people. She enjoys capturing her life in paint including her two cats.
PORTRAITS
Whether it's working from live sittings or favourite photographs Alice's portraits are sought after for the way she captures the unique character of her subjects in oil and charcoal.
ANIMALS
Fur or feathers are at the centre of some of Alice's most popular artworks: animal portraits that capture the lively personalities of the creatures in our lives.
