******BA Hons Fine Art | PGCE Secondary Art & Design******

Shropshire born and bred with a passion for Painting and Drawing!

'All I do, and have ever wanted to do, is art' 

​

For as long as I can remember I have always loved to paint and draw. In fact I had always dreamt I would become a professional artist one day!

​

Every year my Christmas lists would always include anything and everything arty, from painting by numbers to sequin art! This was my favourite thing besides spending the days baking. I was most happy sat around the kitchen table drawing or painting or in fact taking part in any craft activity often with my sister Loren. 

​

Growing up in rural Shropshire, on a Christmas tree farm, I have been extremely lucky to be surrounded by animals and nature.  I have always loved exploring the countryside, walking, going on picnics and taking photographs along the way. My work has often derived from these adventures.
 

In 2002 I went on to study Fine Art at Chester University and then completed a PGCE in Secondary Art Education. I went into secondary art teaching to pass my passion on to young people, and I loved it for 10 years, leaving in 2017 to pursue my dream of becoming a full time artist.

​

I now work from my studio at home producing original art, commissions, prints and greeting cards. I hope you enjoy looking through my portfolio.
