I make paintings; mainly in oils. My portraits are an attempt to capture a person's life-force and likeness. My other paintings are more experimental and expressive, with a particular interest in female archetypes, identity, and surviving emotional abuse. ​

​

True story: back in 1991 I was was too intimidated by the cool ones at Norwich Art College (now NUA) to take up my hard-won place on their prestigious Foundation Course. Until 2018, my creative expression was through side-hustles in performance and singing. I worked in call-centre training, and then in museum education, until 2024.

​

Now, I paint and draw, and teach painting and drawing, full time.
