I was born April 1972 in Croydon and brought up in Devon. I enjoyed art and won prizes at school and college but chose to study History of Art at University. I moved to Ireland in 1996 exhibiting in my spare time and teaching art, whilst completing a Masters degree in Irish Studies. Part-time art led onto commissioned work which became my main occupation. I have exhibited in Ireland and England in solo and group exhibitions, my work has also sold in Europe and America. I am a member of the West Cork Arts Centre in Ireland and the Society of Equestrian Artists (UK).
