Artist Statement: I work primarily in acrylics and oils, sometimes painting landscapes but more often my focus is upon intricacies such as reflections on water or the tangled detail of trees and undergrowth.
Biography: I hale from Nottinghamshire, England, but have lived in Canada since 1998 and have been settled in the Cariboo since 2008. In the mid 90's I started selling miniature ink and pencil and oil pastel drawings when on extended backpacking trips to help pay for my travels, painting came much later in a serendipitous moment when a complete stranger gave me a large box of oil paints and supplies and I have never looked back. Acrylics came later and have rather taken over in recent years. I also paint murals and sometimes do tutoring. I am a full-time artist, self-taught by choice.
