I studied at Leicester De Montfort College,
graduating with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Textile Art and went onto complete a teaching
qualification.
I decided to leave my career working for an
educational charity to explore my artistic
ambitions and become a full time artist. I have
shown work in many successful solo,
group and open exhibitions.
I am passionate about my art, and love getting lost
in the moment when painting and the
creative release it gives me. I draw inspiration from
dramatic cliffs and coastline which
provide me with a rich source of material.
My work is firmly rooted in the British landscape, an
ideal base for my impressions of a
variety of locations including beaches, lakes, busy
harbours, wild rocky cliffs and
mountainous ranges.
My painting is constantly evolving, experimenting
with different techniques, ultimately
aiming to capture light and atmosphere, the power
and beauty of all nature and its
creations. My current series of work explores the
glorious colour combinations in
sunsets, experimenting with various cloud
formations and reflection on water.
