I am a painter and printmaker based in Morcott, Rutland, close to the Welland Valley. My work celebrates the quiet charm of the British countryside - rolling fields, shifting skies and the subtle beauty of seasonal change.

Working from a home studio, my creative inspiration comes from everyday life - walks through surrounding villages, or across fields in all weathers, often accompanied by our lively Parson Russell Terrier, Lyra.

Combining my love of nature with a background in theatre design and painting, I aim to capture the small details and fleeting moments that often go unnoticed, while also evoking a sense of drama and mood in my work.

Each September I open my studio as part of Northants and Rutland Open Studios. If you're interested in visiting or attending one of my workshops, please do get in touch.

  • "Tina has a wonderful use of light, shade and colour, which makes me look at the subject with a different perspective."
