My work has been pre-selected for the ‘Threadneedle Prize’ and the ‘Society of Marine Artists’ at the Mall Galleries in London, and recently ‘Greenhouse Frog’ a dry-point etching with watercolour which was selected for the ‘Royal Society of British Artists’ Mall Galleries, London exhibition February 2020, also the ‘Botanicals 2020 Exhibition’ and ‘4th Patterns Exhibition 2020’ for Light Space and Time, America.  I have also had a piece accepted for the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Open Exhibition 2020.

I was born in Margate, Kent United Kingdom, and moved to Scotland UK where I now live and based as an artist.  

The journey of becoming an artist started after completing an A’ level Art and Crafts course at Telford College Arts Technology.  Then studying at the University of Wolverhampton where I started a MA in Fine Art, but had to stop due to ill health.  I am a stroke survivor and see colours in a new light.

My artistic inspiration has always been with natural forms of nature, and the wonderful colours nature produces. 

My favourite medium is oils and aquatint etching printing, but I also work in screen printing and acrylic, and I have just been introduced into the world of collage which has opened up a new way to express myself in my art.

The introduction of Haiku poetry has opened up a new and wonderful way to complete my artwork with words, and allow my spoken word to renew itself after my stroke. I suffered from slight aphasia from my stroke, and Haiku is allowing my cognitive impairment to improve on a day to day basis.
