Biography
I have been commissioned by Foyles bookshop and had a sail design accepted for the Whitehorses Whitstable project. I have also completed an artists' residency at The Beaney Museum Canterbury
My paintings are influenced by artists such as Klimt and Hunterwasser, and European textiles and folk art traditions; my inspirations are the landscape and architecture but colour is my main obssession.
I paint mainly in acrylics because life is too short to wait for oils to dry, and all works are ready to hang.
