Walk in the Woods Painting

Transforming mud, paint, graphite, ink, paper and canvas into art has always struck me as a kind of magical alchemy. I look for beauty in the prosaic ordinariness of everyday life, and I am obsessed with trees! I've worked as a hospital porter, a tree planter, a ward maid in a maternity hospital, a gravedigger, a charity CEO, an archaeological technician and a customs and excise officer. I spent many years living in the Shetland Islands where I learned how to do traditional Shetland knitting and worked for several years designing and producing knitwear. I am very fortunate to have traveled widely. I have lived in England, Singapore, Iran, in 2014, I moved to Texas, USA. I have now moved to Nigeria.
