I have been an Exhibiting Member of  Farnham Art Society since 2002 and Guildford Art Society since 2007. I have had work shown at the Vivartis Autumn Arts Festival at King Edward’s School in Witley, Surrey. In Summer 2008 I had two paintings accepted for The Art of Water Open Exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery.

    My work is mixed media, including acrylic, watercolour and collage. I have recently taken up printmaking with shorts courses at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham. I've purchased a small roller press to develop and experiment further with monoprinting, collagraphs and drypoint. I'm largely a self-taught artist but have benefited greatly from the workshops and critiques with professional artists run by Farnham and other art societies.

I am particularly attracted to painting river and coastal scenes. Over the past few years, I have been subtly incorporating text into some of my paintings which is relevant to the picture, suggesting an additional message beneath the scene; perhaps about a potential threat to the landscape such as climate change.

I trained as a scientist, with a Biochemistry degree from the University of Southampton. I have subsequently developed a keen interest in Earth and Environmental Sciences. I have studied geology with the Open University and belong to the Open University Geological Society. Here, I've gained some fascinating insights into how the landscape has been shaped through time. I'm keen to develop this theme in my artwork.
