I started my artistic journey several years ago and since that time I have looked for opportunities to learn and practice the things that interest me. I would describe my art education as self directed and eclectic. I’ve learned a lot from other artists and have taken workshops and classes locally. I also learn from books and videos and from simply doing or ‘disappearing down the rabbit hole to art wonderland’ where one loses all track of time. Recently I have mainly painted in oils but I also work in other media.

This is my first year of painting on location with the Gallery Painting Group. I love spending the time outside in nature and observing the way living things interact with the environment.I am fascinated by the play of light and how it changes everything and it’s exciting to find that special something that speaks to your soul and says ‘paint me’. I really enjoy the camaraderie of working alongside like minded people and am grateful to all those who welcome us to their locations.

As well as the Gallery Painting Group, I am a member of the London Community Artists, Stonetown Arts in St Mary’s, Urban Sketchers London and a new member of the Lambeth Art Association.
