Biography

I trained as a junior school teacher and moved to Cornwall in 1976, where the quality of the light has given me inspiration.

I have been painting for 20 years and work mainly in watercolour, acrylics, pastels and oils, always using artists' quality materials.

My paintings are hung over the world and many have been published as prints and cards.
