I’ve always known I would be an artist. I grew up on a farm and spent many years working with horses and dogs which has given me an intimate knowledge and perception of my subjects. Enabling me to capture the very essence of the animal I am drawing or painting.I spent many years travelling which was invaluable experience painting landscapes and buildingsmany of which sold 'fresh off the easel'I was voted the visitors favourite artist at the British Society of painters Exhibition. Coming first out of 224 of Britain’s leading artists.In recent years there has been a great deal of interest in my paintings both here and abroad with my most recent abstract work in acrylicand oils proving extremely popular.I also love to create sculptures, ceramics and fused glass, always experimenting with colour, light and texture.
