An early change in my Education from Art to Catering steered my career as a Chef for many years, but as my family grew, I found myself less able to dedicate the many hours required away from my children in catering and became a full time parent in 2005.

In 2012 once my fourth child started full time education I was determined to find my creativity again with a product I could create from home. Starting with simple pencil portraiture I practised my skills and then began to experiment with many different mediums and surfaces, finding myself drawn to detailed and colourful fine art. I am now an accomplished commission artist and I am venturing into fantasy and wildlife art as well as portraiture.

I love to challenge myself and will never stop experimenting. I currently use Graphite, Colour Pencils, Pastels, Watercolour, Acrylic and Oil paints on a range of surfaces like paper, shoes, wood, canvas and Aluminium.
