Daisy's portraits are painted from life, to capture the personality and spirit of her subject in a painterly and fluid way. She also loves being out in the open and paints her landscapes "en plein air". The practice of painting outdoors informs her studio practice and enhances the use of colour and light in her portraits.

Close up of Daisys portrait “Ausra”
Portrait commission of Natasha, captured in Daisys London studio.
“Daisy is an extremely versatile painter in the landscape and portrait traditions working both in plein air as the Impressionists before her and in the studio on ‘sight-size’ portraits of remarkable naturalism and elegance. Stylistically her handling of the medium is both painterly and refined in its application. In this respect she is an artist who understands how to control and manipulate paint in order to achieve portraits of astounding intimacy and beauty”
Daisy being awarded the Gordon Hulson Memorial prize by Will Compertz at the Royal Society of British Artists 2020. Please see the website dedicated to Gordon’s life and work http://gordonhulson.com/
