    Statement

    Artist's Statement :  Being creative in whatever form is a necessary part of my life. I work in the media of printmaking, painting and photography and enjoy the diversity of different media. My work centres around my personal life and usually has an element of narrative.

    My most recent work has been a commission for a luxury development in Portugal to create 20 paintings of daily life in the western Algarve.

    Since then I have been working as an artist in schools and teaching printmaking from my studio.I am also engaged in developing more personal work.
