I grew up in Dorset with a love for nature and a passion for drawing.  I studied art to A-level but when the bright lights of London came calling I found myself drawn to the music industry.  After almost two decades working in artist relations for major record companies, I left to raise a family and reignite my artistic side.

 

Largely self-taught, I have studied life drawing, still life and oil painting but have always enjoyed portraiture, particularly the challenge of capturing a close resemblance and character of a subject. I especially enjoy creating portraits of children and am passionate about catching a true likeness and a sense of their personality at a particular age. Dogs too are favourite subjects; it's always rewarding to study and replicate their unique expressions, colouring and fur patterns.

 

I am fortunate to live in a wonderful area of south west London surrounded by green spaces. I love being in nature and soaking up the therapeutic benefits to mind and body is a necessity for me. So when I'm not drawing you'll find me walking in Richmond Park, along the river or across the Dorset countryside.

 

I have a new collection of wildlife original drawings and limited edition prints which can be viewed on instagram. Please get in touch if you would like to buy.  I am open to wildlife commissions too if you have a favourite animal.

Thanks for visiting my website, I hope to have the opportunity to create a portrait for you soon.
