About Me

 

I was born in Romford, Essex, the eldest of three children, of which I was the only artistic one........black sheep of the family I guess! My love of art began as a child and developed through school & Art college where I achieved an 'A Level' at the highest grade in my year. After gaining further experience at Art college I used this knowledge to form a partnership designing & producing clothes with a fellow artist. During the three years that I pursued this career, I attended training classes in tailoring & ballgown construction at 'Liberty's of London'. After enjoying a fair few years window dressing at a well-known department store, I finally landed my first dream job when I was asked to draw a portrait of a beautiful labrador.(Having always had an affinity with animals and being owned by a succession of cats for most of my life.) I am now lucky enough to be exactly where I want to be, living my life-long dream.... painting portraits of people's much loved pets, meeting all sorts of lovely animals and painting anything else you desire. What more could you want from life?
