An interest in Art History, drawing and painting have always been part of my life and whilst following a career in the NHS, I was able to study and practice Pure Arts at College before teaching Watercolour Skills in Adult Education.
I am still fascinated by watercolours and enjoy the fluidity of the medium, and how it can quickly capture atmosphere and the essence of a landscape if you give it a chance.
On trips in the UK and abroad paints come too, usually in a sketch book, and as well as providing a record, are often the basis for future work in various media.
I am lucky to live in the Cuckmere Valley in East Sussex, surrounded by beautiful countryside, where I continue to paint and visit Art Groups and Societies to run demonstrations and workshops.
Alfriston Clergy House
2026 is the third year I have been invited to volunteer at the Clergy House in Alfriston, as Artist in Residence, to produce sketches and paintings inspired by this special place and the Cuckmere Valley.
This year I will also be running some small groups for artists to paint on-site here.
