I am a UK artist, living in Co. Durham (N.E. England) where I create my art in a multi coloured studio in our garden. Although I graduated in 1992 (with a B.A. Degree in Art and English), I have been drawing for as long as I’ve been able to hold a pencil. However, only over the past few years have I been working as a professional artist. I now exhibit in local galleries, take part in national art shows and have work across the UK as well as in several other countries including
New Zealand, Ukraine, Germany and the USA.
My artwork is made up of several strands (I'm a bit of a hybrid):
I take great pride in what I do and like to bring happiness to others through what I produce.

My artwork is made up of several strands (I'm a bit of a hybrid):
- I produce intricately detailed drawings, using a selection of high quality coloured pencils. Often portraits done to commission (animals, pets, people, your house), I am able to create something special and unique for you.
- Using old magazines, leaflets, bits of paper, old sewing patterns etc.etc., I create decoupaged images, often with quirky representations of animals. As I have a particular love of cats, felines feature heavily in this area. I also decoupage furniture but with more random designs although often personalised if I'm doing it for a particular person.
- Mainly using acrylics, I also paint vibrant and uplifting canvases – personal reactions to the colourful, changeable seasons that I encounter around me, with trees in particular being a recurrent subject.
