Artistic background

Having graduated with an honours degree in law from the University of Leicester I later qualified as a chartered accountant. For a few years I worked as a finance manager for NHS and later worked part time helping out a family accounting practice. Whilst for a significant part of my life I worked and still work as a finance professional my ‘real’ dream role in life has always been one of an artist. I painted all my life, ever since I was able to hold a brush and a pencil! I consider myself to be an incredibly lucky person, I love art but I also love my finance roles, especially when the people aspect is involved. I draw inspiration from many things, quite unexpectedly my accounting background has always been one of those areas where I can draw inspiration from, even though it might not be obvious at first glance.
