I have always been a creative person, as a child I would make Plaster of Paris models and paint and draw, I loved drawing likenesses of famous people. My career was in IT and I would paint as a way of destressing. I was a member of the Bedfordshire Artist's Network for many years until we moved here to Northamptonshire and have exhibited at the Gascoigne Gallery in Harrogate in their ‘Starkers’ exhibition. Now I am retired and have time to pursue my creative side I am enjoying learning other painting techniques and have recently discovered acrylic pouring or fluid art. This has given me the means to create new and exciting effects in my artwork, and i enjoying trying out the different techniques and adapting them to my personal style. You can see some of my newest work in the Fluid Art Gallery

I am fascinated with colour and light, and my paintings reflect this with an emphasis on exploring the effects of strong light and unusual colours on my subjects. I have been painting all my life, gradually developing my painting techniques into the distinctive blend of style and colour I use today.

In addition to painting I also enjoy making jewellery, either with polymer clay and resin or with traditional silversmithing. I have a small studio in my home which is packed with tools and materials for my various interests.
