I work out of my studio in a quiet rural village in Lincolnshire near the east coast of England. Truly inspired by the day-to-day, the change of light and seasons, the stunning skies, peaceful countryside, flat fens, rolling hills, waterways, bracing coastline, and exploring the rich and turbulent history.

​

My life goal was always to be an artist. My passion was representational and impressionist art at a time when art degree curriculums were biased more toward abstract work. Finding myself at a crossroads, I instead turned a different corner to pursue illustration and design as my way forward.

​

However, artists never retire from art; real passion never wholly leaves the soul. The reactions and emotions evoked by pictures painted as gifts for my daughters reignited my love and connection with art again. From that moment, I’ve been inspired, examining, drawing, challenging, and redefining myself. Working hard to create a personal vision and artistic voice and, more recently, enjoying the challenges of figurative art and painting directly from life and in the great outdoors ‘En plein air.’
