Ingrid is a painter influenced mainly by beauty as well as fashion history, fashion photography, movie icons and old things from the 20th century. Her paintings are all about style and elegance, portraying the beauty of the female form with a surreal, stylised realism. 

Ingrid lives in Orewa, north of Auckland and emigrated to NZ from the UK in 2000.

Over the years Ingrid has explored other themes and subject areas that might seem unexpected. Ranging from classic cars to abstract works, they all share the same characteristic precision and attention to detail. Each work is the product of many stages of research, drawing, composition, creation and refinement. Often Ingrid will dream up the outfits worn on her ladies, placing great importance on every detail from the stitching on a dress to each jewel on a necklace.

As a final touch, there is a unique element in all her paintings. If you look hard enough you will find a signature camouflaged  illustration tucked away in each of her paintings.
