I first studied the history of art with fine art, and while teaching, I completed my second degree in visual art and design.

Specialising in illustration, I was highly commended in the MacMillan Children’s Book Competition and went on to create images for magazines and book covers. During lockdown I experimented with batik techniques and found it to be a fascinating medium with endless possibilities. I have developed my own unique, contemporary style, focusing on portraiture.

My portraits have been displayed in exhibitions by The Royal Society of Portrait Artists, The Society of Women Artists, The Royal Cambrian Academy and INGDiscerning Eye.

My art has been described as having a "calm intensity". This depth of feeling is derived from my endeavour to make sense of the fragility of the human psyche and I strive to capture the undeniable essence of a person.
