I live and work in Brighton where there is a vibrant creative atmosphere.
Having completed Foundation Studies at Croydon School of Art I went on to Brighton University to obtain BA in Graphic Design and Illustration. After a period as an illustrator for children’s programmes for the BBC, I qualified and taught Art and Design in Brighton schools for a number of years. Further studies include an M.A. in Education at Sussex University.

I have a studio in Brighton and work on paintings and prints which I show on a regular basis.

Recent exhibitions include:
Gallery 24, Shepherds Market,
Affordable Art Fair 2008 and 2009
BIP at the Brighton Fishing Museum 2009
Brighton Art Fair 2009
Brighton Artists Open House exhibitions over a number of years.

My work can be found at:
Castor and Pollux, Brighton
IO Gallery Brighton
Brighton Framing Gallery
Inspires Art Gallery, Oxford

I will be showing at the Brighton Art Fair 2010.
