I was drawn to art from a very early age, winning my first award for a painting of a flamingo at eight years old, but didn't truly discover the joy of creating until later in life.

​

Born in Surrey, I relocated to Cambridge in 1991 and now live with my family and two cats. Following a twenty year career in banking whilst bringing up my young children, I took up the 'Watercolour Challenge' at a weekly class. It was then I rediscovered my love for painting.

​

Since 2015, I have exhibited in the Cambridgeshire area, with works on display at Burwash Manor and The Stove Café, and have participated numerous times in Cambridge's July Open Studios.

​

Working primarily in watercolour and ink, I favour a loose, contemporary style. I'm inspired by birds, beasts, flora and fauna and the East Anglian Fens. I've also recently taken to acrylics, creating zingy and atmospheric landscapes.

​

I am open for commissions, so do get in touch and I will create a bespoke piece for your wishes. Past requests have included pet portraits, local landmarks, home portraits, and new baby gifts.
