I grew up among nature’s colours and heartening characters.

My work celebrates connections, affections and personalities, predominantly in animals. I work in oils, love contrast and use a recognised play on composition.

I have had successful exhibitions at the Sock Gallery, Loughborough, Melbourne Art Festival alongside various country shows.

I teach characterful oil painting for beginners, which I find extremely rewarding. Art is for sharing! I also instigated and run Star For Art; a creative confidence project for children.
