I was born in London and grew up in busy and, dare i say it, hectic Covent Garden. I was born with an artistic streak, preferring pens, paper and colouring in books to the more usual childrens toys. My Mother once said of me '...you always played with the box the toy came in' ; which pretty much summed me up. I could always get more mileage out of that cardboard box than the toy it contained!
I Attended Chelsea College of Art and Design, and graduated with BA (Hons) Graphic Design Communication. My love of colour permeated practically every aspect of my work there, and my portfolio is pretty lively as a result. I have consistently produced hand rendered artwork throughout my life and enjoy using different techniques to create beautiful effects, and have been successfully selling my work for many years now.
I am a qualified teacher with a Master's level PGCE from the Institute of Education, and live in North West London with my Daughter Leanne, and am happily engaged to my Fiance Chris.
