Painting has always been a large part of my life – although originally I trained and worked as an occupational therapist in London. Influenced through instruction by Edward Wesson and Oliver Warman, I exhibit regularly in London at the ROI as well as in the provinces – accepting commissions both in the UK and abroad. I am a member of the Hertfordshire Visual Arts Forum, the Biggleswade Art Society and the Eagle Gallery in Bedford where I regularly exhibit.

My work is figurative and mainly landscapes. I work on site to capture the changing light and mood of the scene and I am inspired by the effects of light and the shapes that this creates on canvas. Much of my work is inspired by my surroundings in East Bedfordshire, but the opportunities presented by my frequent travels in Europe and beyond have given me the chance to adjust my palette and present the variations in light and topography so different from an English environment.
