Over the years I have experimented in all aspects of art, from naïve and abstract paintings to papier mache, marbling, tapestries, knitwear design and jewelry. The common theme is decorative colour and quirkiness. I am inspired to bring joy and fun into my work, whether it be a painting, sweater or necklace.
After studying fine art and textiles at the Chelsea School of Art, my early career included the design and sale of knitwear in the UK and USA. I have worked in multi-media, with no specific genre; painting people with animal’s heads, flowers, fishes and abstracts.
I was born into an artistic family that appreciated and understood humour and the quirky, a tradition that I am carrying on. I have always felt a compulsion to create and generally decorate and adorn my world.
I have exhibited at various locations throughout London and the South East, including: Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Ideal Home Exhibition, Smith’s Gallery (Covent Garden), Llwellyn Alexander Gallery (Waterloo), Alternative Arts (Spitalfields) Farnham Maltings, Chelsea Town Hall, Battersea Arts Fair, Colonial (Chiswick), Flora Twort Gallery (Petersfield), Tuchique Gallery (Frensham), Winchester Town Hall, Surrey Artists Open Studios. I have also sold privately in the UK and abroad and to commission.
