artist statement

I n 1994 I gained a BA(HONS) degree in scientific illustration from Middlesex University . From this time until the present day I have worked as an illustrator, run creative workshops and been busy creating my own artwork.

My work tends to be inspired by the natural world. I love texture and pattern and choose subjects which reflect this, for example, the wrinkles on an elephant or pattern of shapes in a landscape! I use a whole range of techniques and media as I have always believed that they are simply a tool and I use whatever suits my intended outcome, whatever that might be.

I am currently a fellow of Digswell Arts Trust a charity which supports artists by providing low cost studio facilities and gives them the opportunity for exhibitions and training.
