About me
A nature inspired artist based in Nottingham, I love to paint in a loose, impressionistic style. I enjoy experimenting with colour and mark making and strive to capture the effect of light on the subject of my painting. My original paintings have found new homes in the UK and internationally.
A fellow of the Nottingham Society of Artists, I participate regularly in society exhibitions.
With over a decade's experience in watercolour painting, I run workshops and classes locally.
