I start with an idea, then it turns into something else…Picasso
Artist Statement

I’ve always loved to paint. As a child my favourite toys were sketchbooks, pencils, crayons and paints.
I spent a lot of my childhood in Combe Martin, North Devon where the beach was my playground.

I’m a stroke survivor. During my recovery time, painting gave me the normality I craved.
During the pandemic, I ventured into abstract painting. Creating these and impressionistic works opened up the freedom to explore my imagination and inner feelings.

I am an exhibiting member of the Nottingham Society of Artists, I exhibit and sell my work in their exhibitions throughout the year.
I’ve been a prize winner of the Holbrook Trust Award, for my abstract painting of ‘Eventide’.
I’ve also featured in The Leisure Painter magazine with one of my still life paintings.

I regularly exhibit my work in the Hayloft Gallery, in Strelley Hall Courtyard,
