About
About me:
I specialise in illustration and portraiture. I am an elected member of The Society of Graphic Fine Art and Oxford Art Society. I exhibit regularly as a member with both societies and take part in Oxfordshire Artweeks and Devon Open Studios. I have been selected to exhibit with the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Royal Watercolour Society, The Royal Society of British Artists and The Society of Graphic Fine Art in their annual exhibitions at The Mall Galleries, London. I exhibit frequently in local galleries and my work is in several private collections.
I work in graphite, charcoal and ink. Each has a natural warmth and versatility that fits well with my work. The smallest drawn (or etched) stroke can utterly change what you see. I am always happy to discuss possible commissions and enjoy exploring these with my clients.
Also a qualified Art teacher, I have the Postgraduate Certificate in Advanced Educational Practice as an Artist Teacher from Oxford Brookes University.
