My love of art started at an early age and grew with me. Whilst in full time employment, it bubbled away in the background. In 1996, I took a BA Art degree course under private tutelage. In 2002, with new artistic principles and understanding, my painting took on a more significant role. I studied art history for two years at the UEA, received private tuition for painting and drawing and attended summer school at The Art Academy in London. I work primarily in oil but also use charcoal, pencil and collage.
