Biography 

Studied fine art degree in Newport South Wales (BA hons).

PGCE Art and Design at Reading University.

MA in Art Education at Oxford Brooks.

After art college I learnt the skill of sign writing and worked in London writing signs for televised sports TV events. I then moved to Oxford and set up my own business designing and producing a range of signage for a variety of clients. When vinyl computer-cut lettering over took the need for a maul stick I moved into graphic design overseeing team of designers, producers, fitters and sales people designing and making graphics for limited edition cars and fleet vehicles.

When the 90’s recession arrived I moved into teaching and found my dream job; teaching and making art in all disciplines. After 20 years I decided it was time to work full- time as an artist so I set up a studio in Oxfordshire and started showing my work and running workshops to a range of clients. I joined Oxfordshire Art Weeks and success grew from there, having group and solo exhibitions with many local artirts.

I continue to work in a range of media but seem to be specialising in dry media.

I have appeared in several magazine articles including Artists and Illustrators and an American journal ‘Color’.
