Artist Statement

I’ve always loved to paint, as a child my favourite toys were sketchbooks, pencils, crayons and paints. I spent a lot of my childhood in Combe Martin, North Devon where the beach was my playground.

I’m a stroke survivor. During my recovery time, painting gave me the normality I craved and gave me focus. During the pandemic, I ventured into abstract painting. Creating these and impressionistic works gave me the freedom to explore my imagination and inner feelings.

I am an exhibiting member of the Nottingham Society of Artists and regularly exhibit and sell my work in their exhibitions throughout the year.
I’ve been a prize winner of the Holbrook Trust Award, for my abstract painting of ‘Eventide’.

I regularly exhibit my work in the Hayloft Gallery, situated in Strelley Hall Courtyard, Nottinghamshire.
