I am a self-taught artist, exploring various styles, inspired by life, people and the mood of the day. Having been influenced in my early teens by Francis Danby (The Deluge) I became obsessed with realism, believing art should reflect reality. During my school years I achieved an O level of good grade in art but went on to pursue other career choices.

I organises art exhibitions in Surrey to encourage new and emerging artist to showcase their work, under the support and guidance of established local artists. The First Steps art group was created to support my son (who has Aspergers) and has since grown to a regular exhibition group offering a diverse collection of styles and mediums to a waiting audience.

Through exhibition management I have reignited a passion for painting and moved away from the confines imposed during my school days, to experiment with abstract art, alongside more traditional styles.

"Over the years I have learned to appreciate many other forms and styles of art, creating as such in my own work. A month before my 50th birthday I began to paint on a regular weekly basis, continuing to expanded my thoughts on what 'art' could be. By setting free whatever I am feeling inside at a given time and letting it out on to canvas I am creating a more eclectic collection of artwork, that allows me to express myself."
