I obtained my Fine Art Degree in Painting in Winchester School of Art  finishing in 1996 , since then I have been predominantly raising my family in Dorset and Herefordshire where we still live , very off the beaten track . My focus has been on painting mostly what surrounds me , while not painting , when my children were little , I would always create gardens , patches of annual flowers and vegetables , where ever I was allowed , these became my canvases and my intention was to paint what grew there . I am now doing just that and love the accidental compositions that occur , intrusive weeds become quite interesting to my painterly mind ! 

My painting explores the passing of time , transience of life; flowers as a subject capture this ephemeral nature and I believe deserve attention .  Domestic objects that transcend time to perform daily unassuming tasks , like feeding us , vessels that hold life all interest me .  My process always starts with drawing , then I prefer to work quite intuitively and freely , hoping to keep a fresh feel to the work . 

Galleries I currently show with are Studio Cennen in LLandeilo Wales and The Art Shop in Abergavenny . I have recently created a collection of painting's on paper for The Shop Floor Project . I will keep you up to date on exhibitions so stay in touch
