I completed Art Foundation in Cambridge then went on to study Sculpture in Wakefield, Yorkshire and Mixed Media at Goldsmiths, London. I have studied with two painters over three years and have completed a course in Advanced Paint Techniques. I now live and work in Cambridge, UK and am a regular participant in Cambridge Open Studios.

My inspiration to paint comes from nature and landscape. The Suffolk coast, the Dales, Devon and Cornwall, and the fen landscape around Cambridge are all particular inspirations to me and contribute much to my work. As well as the external environment I am also interested in our own internal environment and this informs a lot of my abstract work. Much of my painting explores the boundaries between the internal and external worlds and what happens along these boundaries. Using mainly oil paint and employing other media to complement, my work is about the pleasure and sensation of colour and texture. I especially enjoy seeing how different materials mix together to create a new and unique experience.
