I am a Londoner and I graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1989 with a Masters degree in illustration. After leaving the RCA I engaged in both editorial and advertising work with jobs that ranged from book covers and magazine work to packaging and advertising; having work published nationally and internationally.
I also had the pleasure and privilege of teaching in colleges and universities for over 30 years, a rewarding time seeing students develop new and exciting work.
I have now fortunately relocated to Devon where I have a studio and spend my time totally immersed in the most beautiful landscape with plein air painting. I feel my illustrative background gives my pictures a narrative slant. For me painting is a necessity and I have a natural curiosity for creating pictures that evoke a sense of place, capturing moments in time.
My sketchbook is always with me.
