|
I was born in 1970 in Ipswich.
I am mainly inspired by the arts, 1930, 40's and 50 movies, and French movies. I get my images from my imagination, or magazines and most often, from photographs I have taken myself on my travels in France and elsewhere. I especially love to paint with wonderful French music playing and a nice glass of wine in hand!

| About the Artist |
My work is inspired by colour, architecture, France and life around me. I decided from a young age I wanted to be an artist, and follow in my Dad’s footsteps. I tried for years to paint ‘conventionally’ with watercolours, but it just didn’t happen for me. Yet I loved the medium of watercolours. So one day I decided to just paint with them as I would with other mediums, such as oil’s or acrylics, and I haven’t looked back since! I love the idea that you can see many different colours in a subject, even if at first they are not immediately visible to the naked eye, and I hope my work reflects that. |

| Education and biography |
I have painted from before my days at school, as my father was an artist. He taught me how to draw, paint, and the importance of detail and the initial sketch. The rest of all I do is self taught, for my sins.
I have had a few one woman shows in Ipswich at the Chambers Gallery and many other mixed exhibitions across East Anglia.

| Future shows |
I have a few works on show at a various galleries in East Anglia, and on various contemporary gallery websites around the world. I am currently hoping to work with a few interior designers to become part of a new venture concerning show homes. And I am still hoping for that apartment in Paris.
