I started drawing and painting at a very young age and after school I went to the Somerset College of Art for two years and then on to the Ruskin School of Drawing in Oxford. 

I have painted on and off always, but in recent years have taken it much more seriously.

Recent exhibitions include:

Somerset County Library, 2007

Wellington Arts Society, 2008 and 2009

Somerset Art Weeks, 2008 

Tiverton Arts Society, 2009

I take with me a sketch book and camera where ever I go, I really enjoy painting country things - animals, barns, landscapes etc.  Colour is also very important to me. 

I also enjoy undertaking commissions, so far these have been prize winning cows, pedigree sheep, working dogs and farmyard scenes.

As well as painting locally, I have captured the essence of Corfu, Paxos and France from recent trips.
