Willingham has exhibited widely throughout Hampshire, where she is based, and has won several awards over the years for her work. In 2014 she exhibited with the Society of Women Artists at the Mall Galleries in London.

Over the years Willingham has attempted most subjects but has always maintained a preference for still life and is fascinated by the challenge of exploring new ways of portraying a few simple domestic objects from around her home.

The unusual compositions and use of a limited palette give Willingham’s work a contemporary feel.
