I was born in 1966 and grew up in the beautiful county of Suffolk. I am a full time professional artist and I work from my lovely studio, located at the bottom of my garden. This is where I have the great pleasure to be surrounded by my two dogs, trees and birdsong. This wonderful environment allows me to become totally absorbed in my painting, and is undoubtedly an influence upon my work.
I have always painted and drawn, and attended Ipswich Art College, when upon graduating went on to work in the field of illustration and graphic design. It has however been the fine aspect of my career that I have over recent years been totally focused upon. I have exhibited widely throughout Suffolk in various galleries and exhibition venues, and have gone on to sell locally, nationally and internationally.
Although I work mainly in oils, I feel liberated in the sense that I can experiment with many different materials, including the use of metallic leaf or spray paint. As an artist, I am continually imagining new works whose hues and patterns are nature inspired but depicted in my own subconscious way. Besides being drawn to our local landscape of Suffolk, my eyes are continuously open to wherever I may be, ever conscious of colour, contour and movement
