Artistic background

I achieved an A Level in Art but other than that I am mostly self taught. I have been painting for as long as I can remember and have always had a passion for art. My preferred medium is oil paint I have used acrylics, water colour and dabbled with acrylic pouring and resin but I just love traditional oil painting.
After pursuing a career in IT and then starting a family, I rekindled my love of painting and began to sell my work throughout the UK and abroad. My work has been exhibited at the Ideal Home Show and the NEC Birmingham.
