I completed BA and MA degrees in Graphic Design at Birmingham. This then led to a career in publishing taking me from London to The Cotswolds working in the education sector of the publishing market.

My graphic design work has steered me towards printing and mixed media although I have never lost my love for painting. Working mostly in acrylics I have a fascination with seeing the unexpected beauty in ordinary surfaces which I then develop and explore by generating textures and layers.

My ideas and inspiration come from what I see around me every day. Shadows and shapes in stones and rocks, colours and patterns in the water. Transient light and movement in the moment.

Producing something interesting from the ordinary is what motivates me creatively.
