I started my journey as an artist painting portraits with the Heatherly School of Fine Art . when a friend asked me to paint a portrait of her dog I found it tremendously satisfying and diverted to painting animals. Then I took a BA in Fine Art at Central St Martins, graduating in 2013, which opened my eyes to the world of abstract painting. My practice now straddles both abstract animals and pure abstracts. I find that one feeds off the other. I have a studio in Dulwich, South East London and in Cannes, France
