I was born in Caerphilly, South Wales in 1961 and amongst my memories of education & childhood I remember enjoying art and recall winning prizes in competitions for creating posters and designing a Christmas card.  However, I also remember my disappointment when I was discouraged from taking Art & Technical Drawing as subjects for exams.  My career then took a very different path commencing with 7 years service with the RAF in Air Traffic Control.  In time, it also took a back seat to married life & bringing up my two lovely sons.

Many years later at the age of 39 I gave up my career and returned to full time education to study Art & Design.  Creating, and particularly painting again was a very real personal and emotional awakening for me and just the beginning of what I hope will be a long journey.

During the past 8 years much of my collection of work has been dominated by my portraiture in Acrylic.  These bold, graphic & colourful portraits of today�€�s woman have been commercially successful for me.  However the portraits are constantly evolving and are just a small part of a much wider body of work these days.

More recently I have enjoyed abstract work and have developed a collection of paintings inspired by fluids and their movement.  There is also my series of semi-abstract floral paintings, which use contrast as their main feature and bring me much pleasure in their creation.  One of my favourite subjects in this past year (2007/2008) has been Love & Romance and my collection of semi-abstract paintings inspired by Lovers has sold across the world to private collectors in Europe, USA and the Far East.  My love of all things �€�romantic�€� and particularly old black & white movies has fed & inspired this series and this will become more evident later this year!
