I am a mixed media artist and have had many one woman exhibitions as well as showing my work with many organisations. As well as selling work in the United Kingdom I have sold work all over Europe and the United States and Canada. My main subject is and always has been Wildlife, although I do paint and teach all other subjects. As well as producing my own work I teach classes in Warwickshire and Northamptonshire.these classes cover all subjects and mediums. Specialised Wildlife Courses are also available. In 2013 i was awarded a Commended in the World Mammal category in the BBC Wildlife Artist of the Year 2013. This was a coloured pencil painting entitled " Portrait of the Wolf ". I also had a coloured pencil painting entitled " Indonesian Prince" short listed for the Most Endangered Species catagory in the same competition.
