about

I’m an artist and actor based in North London.

Before having children, I worked as a theatre actor which involved a lot of travel. When I became a mum I stopped touring so much, and I really missed the world of creativity.

One day my mum presented me with a box of cheap oil pastels which I assumed she intended for the kids. I quietly unwrapped them while my youngest was playing with a watering can. I had no paper to hand, so grabbed a scrap of corrugated cardboard from the recycling bin and sat down and drew him. I hadn’t done any drawing since I was at school, but loved it, the quick choices of colour and line to capture his movement. My fine art journey had begun.

I still often use corrugated cardboard in my work, using the raised bumps to create a counterpoint for the lights and darks of an image. I experiment with a wide range of other techniques including left handed drawing, which led to winning the Life Drawing Prize at Hampstead School Of Art.

Have a look at my Artwork Sale with a range of landscapes and original life drawings and paintings for sale. I will also shortly be offering prints of selected work.

I take commissions for landscapes and portraits. Please go to my Portrait Tips page, and get in contact with any questions.

Finally you can find out what I’ve been up to recently on my Blog.
