I have loved art all my life but after taking early retirement from the diamond industry I have had more time to paint. I refined my watercolour and acrylic skills from two talented local Surrey artists.

Since moving to Saltdean I have loved becoming part of the community and have organised an exhibition at the Grange gallery Rottingdean and am part of two more this year. I am a member of the Saltdean artists and Rottingdean art club. I also run classes for local enthusiasts to pass on my passion for art.

I am inspired to be paint animals and nature in watercolours acrylics and oils. A few years ago I began being asked to paint pet portraits and have now painted many in acrylics which I enjoy.

 I have a website with originals, prints and other merchandise. My art is available locally at the Open Art Cafe in Rottingdean, I also take commissions.
