Brought up in North Devon, I went to art college in South Wales before training to be a teacher.  
My passion is colour and light and the landscape, flora and fauna provide me with so much inspiration.  I work predominantly in acrylics and watercolour , but also love to experiment with media, incorporating collage, ink, print, gold and silver leaf in my work to capture the light.  I am inspired by nature and the landscape wherever I am, although you will see from my portfolio how much I love the woodlands and river walks around my local Surrey area and often return here for inspiration.
