It seems like I’ve been drawing and painting for a long time….

However,  photography was my starting point – a Christmas present of a Kodak Box Brownie being the beginning of learning observation and composition! My drawing and painting passion really took off nearly 40 years ago about the time of our daughter’s arrival!

In 2011 I achieved an MA in Fine Art from Bournemouth Arts University. As a qualified teacher I have run many art classes and photography classes from my studio. It is good to see many of my students have successfully established their own practices.

All art works are originals produced as either drawing (charcoal, inks or pencil); paintings (oils, acrylics or mixed media – occasionally watercolour). I use high quality materials and to a large extent stretch and create my own canvases.

As an artist and photographer I work from my studio in Bridport. I’ve lived in Dorset for nearly 20 years and regularly visited the area since childhood. I love the landscape, character and characters of West Dorset. Locally, I am a member and ex-Chairman of both Bridport Art Society and Bridport Camera Club..

My work is regularly displayed at Sou’ Sou’ West Gallery at Symondsbury.

I’ve exhibited in Bristol, London, Bournemouth, Christchurch and have sold work around the world – Europe, Australia, Japan and the USA.
