I have always loved designing, making, drawing and creative thinking, working as a Graphic Designer and artist all my life.

My art reflects many of my passions. I love old printed ephemera, typography, mark making, found objects and treasures that Mother Nature gives us. Junk shops are my treasure troves. I cannot walk past a skip without having a good rummage and love nothing better than gathering pebbles or sticks on a beach or woodland walk. All this with the aim of creating something with my precious finds.

I like to take beautiful, quirky or everyday things and combine them with familiar words, sayings or symbols to create pieces which make the viewer look again at things they know. Much of my work has a message for the viewer and often a gentle humour or quirky twist.

I also love the challenge of undertaking commissions. I have done so on a small scale creating pieces such as one off birthday gifts. At the other end of the scale I have enjoyed and completed large commissions for example working with both the architect and clients’ brief to create over one hundred pieces of bespoke art for a hotel. I work well  with both individuals and big organisations utilising my good listening and communication skills to successfully produce art which feedback says is much loved and admired.
