It Begins With the Need to Create

Connie is a self-taught artist whose creative practice has developed through observation, experimentation and the simple act of making.

Her ideas often begin with something real. A photograph, a place, an experience, a memory or a visual detail that stays with her long enough to become something new.

What begins as an idea can move through freehand drawing, composition and colour before becoming a finished painting with its own character and atmosphere.

Learning By Making

Connie's creative journey has been shaped through hands-on practice rather than a formal path.

Each new piece becomes an opportunity to explore composition, colour, texture and technique learning through the process of creating itself.

  • Observation

    Finding ideas in everyday places, photographs and experiences.

  • Experimentation

    Allowing materials, colour and movement to influence the work.

  • Growth

    Letting each completed painting inform the next.

Where the Work Comes to Life

Connie works from her home studio, surrounded by the materials, references, sketches and unfinished ideas that shape each new piece.

The studio is a working space first, a place for experimentation, reflection and making.

Studio visits are available by appointment only.
