ABOUT
BIOGRAPHY
I have enjoyed painting from an early age and my work focuses on landscapes and seascapes. My inspiration is sunlight and the colours, shapes and patterns it creates on the landscape around us.
I exhibit with Tadworth Art Group and Carshalton Artists Open Studios in Surrey. Other past exhibitions include AppArt, Surrey Open Studios, Sutton Arts Council, Denbies Vineyard and the Children's Trust.
