As a UK based artist, I have been creating artworks
all of my life. Born into a family of artists, I gained a degree in visual communications and worked as a freelance illustrator for over a decade. After having children I then moved away from illustration and into fine art and in particular portraiture, and have been working to commission as a portrait artist for the past twenty years. This time has been interspersed with a number of moves; from Birmingham; the Cotswolds; Qatar in the Middle East and now Devon. Each move has brought different life challenges and influences on my work.
More recently I have been painting my own, pieces; nudes and figures, traditional subjects with a contemporary twist.
All through my artistic life, the human figure has been the over riding subject of my work. Exploring and celebrating emotions and character, the joy and fragility of life is what I strive to depict in both my portraiture and my own pieces. I hope that everyone who owns a piece of my work will enjoy it for many years to come.
