Biography

I was born in Ipswich and brought up in Bawdsey, Suffolk. Always following my love for art and being inspired by the rugged Suffolk coastline.

I returned to Bawdsey after completing my degree at Loughborough, Leicestershire in Fine Art Printmaking. I converted an outhouse in the garden to a fully functional studio space and became involved with Suffolk Open Studios to allow the public to access my artwork first hand.

I have exhibited extensively over Suffolk and beyond and am active in the promotion of my own art work in relation to the artist teacher.

My own inspiration comes from the memories and emotions that are drawn from me when immersed in the environments of the East Anglian Coast but also through extensive knowledge of other artists such as Tacita Dean and Terry Setch.

Currently a member and chairman of Suffolk Open Studios, teaching art in Suffolk, and Treasurer of Association of Suffolk Art Teachers.
