I am especially inspired by nature and am interested in the positive effect of art on wellbeing. I began painting in 2004 during a difficult time with a chronic health condition. From small beginnings, just a few minutes of drawing or painting each day my enjoyment of art grew and grew. The paintings that I show are a result of this journey. I began as a watercolourist, but now enjoy using a wider range of materials including some mixed media work. I am based in Derbyshire in the UK.
