About me

Based in Epsom, Surrey, I attended West Surrey College of Art and Design (now part of the UCA group) obtaining a degree in printed textiles back in the late 1980’s.

I love to work with colour, both in oil and acrylic, often applying paint with a palette knife and thickening mediums such as wax to add texture to my paintings. I am inspired by nature and my surroundings when travelling and walking my dogs. Working from my own photos is imperitive to me as I believe capturing the escence of a place is only posible if you have experienced it personally.

A few years ago I attended a foundation course in Art Therapy at Roehampton University which reinforced my opinion that art has a hugely positive effect on our mental wellbeing whether as a practitioner or a viewer.

Now that my family has grown up I can return to my art. I am at the stage in my life where I want to do more of what I love, creating images and artworks that will hopefully bring joy to and resonate with the viewer.

I exhibit locally several times a year as a member of Epsom and Ewell Art Group, including both Summer and Winter exhibitions at Denbies Vinyard in Dorking and The Horton, Epsom. I also exhibit and sell independently at various art fairs within Surrey as well as galleries, South Street Gallery, Dorking, Art House Galleries in Woking and The Stockroom Society, Leatherhead.
