    I am currently living in the peaceful east corner of Gosport, in Hampshire. I am inspired by the coastal view that is on my doorstep, which overlooks the busy City of Portsmouth. I enjoy leisurely strolls to view the harbour and enjoy taking both my camera and sketchbook to record the day to day activity. The morning Sunrise from Hardway is spectacular, offering a palette of harmonious colours that awakens you to nature’s beauty.

     

     

     

    I currently teach Art and Design at one of the secondary schools, I enjoy the creativity of the pupils and their opinions about Art and Design. Art to me is not just a subject; it is also a way of life! I am currently very passionate about curating and exhibition experience for young artists at secondary school.

     

    If you wish to get in contact about any pieces of my art work then please feel free.

     

    After creating a body of installation work, I have returned to canvas, paint and textiles. I am working on a new collection of work, which I hope will be ready for September 2012.
