About

I began painting as far back as I can remember. It has always been a tool for me to express myself and communicate what I am feeling or dreaming, with the outside world.
I began my "work" in art when Iwas around 9 years old at the summer fair at school. In order to earn some pocket money I set up a stall for face painting, which  my younger sister and I enjoyed mastering in our spare time.
From there I became fascinated with caricatures and the realities one can create on paper, if one only lets go and lets the imagination take over.
I would sit in my lessons and doodle the faces of my friends and teacher on every bit of empty space of paper.
When I reached my A-levels, I was blessed with an art teacher who recognised my talent, and simply allowed me to get on with it.
Since then I have done several mural paintings and commissions, but my other love, that of travelling, never allows me to stay in one place for too long in order to build up a reputation.
 
THankfully today, the internet and this website, gives me the constant opportunity to show what it is I do and have to offer.

My Mission of Art

For me Art has always been a way to create what it is I dream of, to make manifest those seeds of imagination which lie inside. To turn the imagination into the tangible.
It is  a way to remember those I love, places I have seen, and to surround myself with beauty.
