Having graduated with a BA in Fine Art and a PGCE in Art and Design Education I have continued working in the arts as a practicing artist and tutor. I taught A level Art and design and life drawing for 30 years in Nottinghamshire, I then spent a year immersing myself in painting in Puglia in Southern Italy. Upon my return I ran workshops and classes at the Secret Garden Café and Studios in Newark-on-Trent for 3 years teaching expressive painting to small groups.
I have now moved to the Suffolk coast and given my time fully to my own practice.
I make joyous colourful oil paintings celebrating the beauty of the world around me. Influenced by the landscape but not a pictorial representation. My paintings are “All my joy and sorrow and the landscape of it”.
