"Creating art is a very individual and emotional journey and has remained my biggest passion, a place to lose myself and be myself completely"

I am a Hampshire based artist, working from my studio at home, where I live with my family and Cookie the chocolate lab. I like to combine learned techniques with individual creation, often with a dramatic, sometimes semi-abstract approach to that of a photograph captured.

I am inspired by wildlife and their natural surroundings. Having worked with British wildlife and captivated from my first trips to Africa. I love to bring the beauty and spirit of my subject through, using vibrant acrylics. We are becoming more and more aware of the challenges that nature has to face. it is important for me to support conservation projects with my work. To give something back.
