My love for art started when I was very small. My Grandfather was an artist and my uncle also. My father dabbled. I started drawing at 6 and loved making anything with my hands.

   Clothes design was to be my first passion. I made all my own weird and wonderful clothes, and was accepted into Plymonth Art University for fashion design. Alas, no grants were to be had out of Cornwall that year.

  I fell into working in a Jewellery Workshop in Newquay Cornwall as I had always had a passion for Jewellery and Gems.

  My first Retail outlet was to be in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. I found a niche market there where I designed Jewellery. It went from strength to strength.

It was Covid that brought me back to painting. I had been drawing for years, little intricate designs in jewellery, but hadn't painted for years.

  Now the free expression of paint and all the new mediums are so exciting to me. I love it and very much enjoy the time I spend painting & creating.
