A bit about me
and the things I love..
My home studio is in Branston where I live with my family, my wonderfully supportive husband Rob, our two children, our cat, Billy and dog, Coco. Our home is a 200 year old cottage filled with Art, family heirlooms and antique treasures with a semi wild cottage garden full of flowers and herbs.
After studying for my Degree in Fine Art at Leeds University I spent 18 years working as a secondary school Art Teacher before becoming a full time artist. My years teaching other people how to draw refined my eye and developed my practical skills.
I love portraiture because of the connections I feel with my subjects (even those I never meet) and my clients. There is something deeply moving about being able to bring a drawing or painting to life. It isn't always easy but capturing a likeness, a personality, a spirit, is so rewarding, and making something which will be treasured, maybe for generations, is such a joy.
If you'd like to get in touch
I'd love to hear from you.
