About Me

To be a good painter, you need to be a good observer. Noticing exactly how things age and become worn with use. Spending hours photographing and replicating surfaces, textures and colours. Constantly experimenting with new paints, texturising agents, glazes and applications. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I love it.

I’m able to work alone or with teams of people, at heights, in tight spaces, on a small or large scale. I work hard. I’m proud of the work I do.

Truly a magician with the paintbrush"! Whether it be to disguise intrusive features until they almost disappear or to create such realistic back-drops that you could be in that tropical rain forest. I would never worry about asking for the impossible as I knew Lottie would work her magic!

Lottie transformed modern light weight materials into authentic cast iron engine components. Visitors are constantly delighted and amazed by the engine room

The transition she achieved in terms of permanent theatrical dressing was nothing short of magic in my view, and I have never seen anything like it previously. She achieved the perfect balance of surface finish and colour staining which transports the visitor to the engine into another world. I think it is brilliant!
