Originally from North West London, I studied at Harrow School of Art. In 1988 I moved to sunny Silsden, teaching art at Keighley College and as a visiting artist in schools.

I acquired an allotment plot 10 years ago and began a one sided "relationship" with the birds that visit the plot. This has led to a fascination for birds - songbirds, moorland birds, tropical birds - the source material is endless.

I work mainly in acrylic and occasionally in gouache or ink. Exhibitions include: The Bath House at Harlow Carr, Art in the Pen at Skipton Auction Mart, Yorkshire Dales Flower Company Open Day at Bradley, Masham Gallery, The Dye House Bradford College and Just Makers at Ripley.
