Born in 1973 I grew up mostly in rural Somerset. I am self taught having not taken the conventional route through education. I was encouraged to draw and paint from an early age as my parents are both creative people taking me on regular trips to galleries and museums which ignited my passion for art. 

 

   Art took a back seat while I raised my three daughters who now they are older provide much of my inspiration.

 

   I paint in acrylics on canvas board taking inspiration from everyday life. Domestic scenes feature regularly in my pictures taking a romanticised gentler look at life.
