"I was born and raised in Battersea, South London and at the age of 22, moved out to Monmouth, South Wales before finally crossing over to the sunny side of the Bristol Channel and Weston-super-Mare in 2003.

As a child I was always drawing or colouring-in; encouraged by my father who used to paint in oils. Although I could never get on with the poster paints supplied at school, I still left with an A Level in Art (Still Life in pencil and chalks). I didn’t go to Art School or really do much with my art after I left (the odd drawing or homemade video cover) until about a 15 years ago when I met my husband to be and listed amongst my interests painting and drawing; and he said "Paint me something". So I picked up a paint brush for the first time in years and painted him a picture of a house and tree (singular) on the top of a multicoloured hill against a lurid purple sky. It was my first step as an artist and I haven’t looked back since, exploring the use of colours and shapes in both the natural and imaginary world.
