About me
I am inspired by nature and my local landscape in Nottingham. I love to paint in a loose, impressionistic style and enjoy experimenting with colour and mark making while striving to capture the effect of light on the subject of my painting. My original paintings have found new homes in the UK and internationally.
A fellow of the Nottingham Society of Artists, I participate regularly in society exhibitions.
With over a decade's experience in watercolour painting, I run workshops and three weekly classes in Chilwell at Yellow Wood Cafe and Chilwell Memorial Hall.
