Initially born and raised in the town Croydon near London, I now live down on the south coast in Portsmouth and I currently work as a Staff Nurse in the Portsmouth Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Although a challenging yet rewarding profession, I have always had a passion for art and painting and found myself in 2020 being able to explore my own creative style to a much greater extent than I have ever done so before.
