I trained at Parsons School of Design in New York City and University of the Arts, London. I was born in Lincolnshire and spent most of my working life living and working in New York City and London. Initially, I worked in theatre ,but after moving back to Lincolnshire in 2003, I returned to my first love: painting. Painting is a great passion of mine. I love the way I feel when I am painting in my studio. Its like entering another world. I see all of my paintings as snapshots of a moment in time,be it past or present.

I work in a variety of media, from oil, acrylic and mixed media. I love soft, sensual oil pieces,but I work mostly with raw layers of acrylic paint and mixed media. I have no interest in realism.Some of my work is powerful and passionate,some is soft and sensual. Some of my work is definitely shocking, some of it isn't. I paint because it is what I love to do,...its as simple as that. I love large,vibrant pieces that fill a wall space, something you just cant help but look at!

My work is expressionist by nature,and demands a physical and emotional participation with the painting itself. Each piece has a variety of textural elements, from impasto, newspaper, tiny beads, sand and black lava to name a few.I build these in many layers,offering depth, and possibly something new emerges each time you look closely.I drip, pour,wash,throw and scrape to make my marks on the canvas and rarely use a brush. I love using enamel paints with their bright, glossy finish and use these constantly!
