I work with printmaking, painting (mostly oil) and drawing, though I often explore other media & techniques such as textiles and collage; I exhibit locally and regionally. I am an artist director of MakeSpace CIC and the studio manager at English Bridge Studios in Shrewsbury; the studio is committed to supporting community art and local artists by managing affordable art space.

My work is a response to my experience of life through observation and association, as well as the joys of composition and colour. The physical action of drawing, painting or making enables a deeper connection with and understanding of my subject, which is why I feel compelled to do it.

I have many years of experience running small group workshops, gained through after school art clubs at primary schools in Shrewsbury and Oswestry, and as a Creative Practitioner for Meadow Arts, Ludlow. I am an Arts Award Adviser for Discover, Explore, Bronze and Silver, supporting the participation of young people in the arts.
