I have always drawn, for as long as I can remember.   The world around me, landscape, myself, my children and other people. 

I especially love to draw from life, treasuring the connection between a life model and my work.  I try to capture the movement, the essence, the life of a moment. 

More recently, I’ve been viewing landscape with these same ideas, trying to capture moments in the landscape too. 

I use many different materials; ink, paint, pastel, wax, water, and love the spontaneity of how these things play together on my paper. 

I live and work in Penallt, South Wales. I am largely self-taught and have been helped along that journey by the fabulous Lessons in Life sessions in Monmouth. Additionally, I have received tuition from Meriel Gold and Newlyn School of Art.
