Art has always been an interest but not until later in life was I able to indulge myself in choosing it as a career.  I did a Foundation at Abingdon (which was learning in overload!) then a BA Hons at Swindon College in 2006.  Subsequently I have worked mostly in relief printing of various kinds - specialising in Lino and Screenprint.

I exhibit mostly locally, but in the last couple of years I have had work accepted and hung in Bristol West of England Academy, Bankside London in the 'Masters In Print' and Wells Contemporary Art in Somerset.  I was also due to have some ceramic Plaques hung in Gloucester Cathedral to commemorate the Bosnian Genocide this July but that was cancelled due to the Covid events.  During lockdown I have taken the opportunity to brush up on my drawing skills and have been enjoying learning to work with pastels...so much to learn, so little time!
