Welcome to my website.
I am an artist living near Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire and I work at home in my studio. The majority of my work is generated from the life drawing sessions which I attend locally, I use my sketches to produce larger mixed media pieces and also develop them into prints. Initially I worked in lino print but have recently purchased a press which has enabled me to branch out into collagraphs and drypoint printing. I am happy to take on commissions and have produced prints of a number of local pets. I am Treasurer for my local art group, Buckingham art for all (Bafa) with whom I exhibit regularly and play an active part in Bafa'a printmaking group. I run a monthly art tutoring session and am available to give tuition in drawing, painting and printmaking.
In 2013, with fellow artist Clare Tebboth, I took part in Bucks Open Studios for the first time. This was a great experience: we received some lovely feedback and met lots of interesting people. We took part in Bucks Open Studios again in 2014 and were joined by Mel Makinson whose colourful landscapes added another dimension to our exhibition. The fortnight went very well, we all sold some work, had plenty of visitors and enjoyed running the have-a-go printing sessions.
Future events
1st November onwards - Bafa Printmaking Network launch our latest exhibition in our new home at the Dragon Gallery, 19A Market Hill, Buckingham
15th and 16th November - Buckingham art for all exhibition at the Buckingham Community Centre. See www.buckinghamartforall.co.uk for more details
I am the Frame Art Display featured artist of the month for November. Stuart McMahon, who frames the majority of my work, has started a new feature whereby he selects a local artist to profile their work on his website, Facebook page and Twitter.
