I set out on my artists adventure in Feb 2014 I used my loft for a studio and spent every spare moment experimenting and creating.

In Feb 2015 I signed up to several online galleries, every painting I sold boosted my confidence and I would spend hour daydreaming of becoming a full time artist.

Since then I have come a long way and have been able to purchase my own studio, I now have a little sanctuary in my back garden.

I had dreamed about having a career as a full time artist from when I started selling my work on a regular basis, with each sale that dream slowly became a reality.

On the 13/08/2018 I took a leap of faith and have been working as a full time artists ever since.

I am inspired by the nature around me, from flourishing meadows to the crashing waves in the ocean, however I do like to add my own twist on things. I do love to work freely with abstract using colours and textures to guide me.

For me Art is a necessity, I need to paint. The colours and images that swirl round my head daily I capture on canvas.

I feel very privileged to have sold my work all over the world.

Artistic background

I took GCSE and A - Level Art, but the rigid structure of the curriculum didn't allow for expression which lead to me losing my love of art until later on in life.

I have always enjoyed being creative but lacked the confidence to pursue a career as an artist, after many nudges from family and friends I decided to bite the bullet.

Interests

I feel very grateful that what started out as a hobby is now my full time career.

We have recently bought a house which requires a lot of modernising so that will be taking up much of our free time for the foreseeable.

When I'm not in my studio I enjoy spending time with friends and family.
