I am a self-taught artist from an artistic family - both my grandmothers were talented artists, as was my mother and uncle. I specialise in animal paintings, both wild and domestic, but also paint landscapes, portraits and still life. I use watercolours, coloured pencils, and acrylics.

I am a member of Fleet Art Society, The Wildlife Art Society and have exhibited paintings at London Zoological Society, Bristol Zoo, Port Lympne Zoo, The Mall Galleries, Patchings Art Festival and Best of Hampshire Artists at Hillier Gardens, Romsey, as well as local exhibitions in Fleet and Farnborough.

I have been selected seven years running to be exhibited in the national wildlife painting competition PAWS, and won the Best Watercolour in 2003 and the Joyce Chaffin Award in the 2004 'all-time winners' final PAWS exhibition. I also took part in Channel 4's Watercolour Challenge in 2000 and was a Hampshire regional finalist.
