Painter. Born UK ( 1975). Lives and works in Oxfordshire.
Illustration to Fine Art
I graduated in Illustration from Manchester in 1998. After a decade working as an Illustrator in London and being represented by Folio Illustration agency, I found myself drawn increasingly towards Fine Art. This shift emerged alongside raising my three children, who, now nearly grown, continue to be a profound source of inspiration. I'm an artist in constant evolution, using mixed water-based media to investigate process, connections and imagination. My work is a continuous journey of discovery, allowing my practice to shift and grow organically. I'm not seeking definitive answers, just staying open to the creative process and what emerges.
