About me...

I enjoyed an idyllic, rural upbringing in West Berkshire, amidst a family of animal-loving artists. A menagerie of animals, birds and even bees were an integral part of life; as was drawing, painting and general creativity.

My parents and two sisters are all artists, and they have always been a valuable source of honest opinions and constructive criticism!

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember and began painting in oils when I was twelve. I quickly became hooked on this wonderfully versatile and flexible medium.

My favourite subjects have always been living creatures, both human and animal, and I enjoy capturing a sense of their character.

My husband and I live in Hampshire with our lovely rescue-dog, Barra, where I combine a dual career as a freelance musician and artist.

My commissions range from portraits of animals and people to landscapes and caricatures.
