My Biography
Painting for 20 years, I am predominantly a portrait painter; however, my catalogue of work covers still life, landscape, seascape and abstract. I love the challenge of new subjects and mediums. I have worked with oils, pastels, acrylics, charcoal and resins. My enjoyment comes from growing my skills and developing my abilities.
My Education
My tutors have included David Chen, Herman Pekel, Bettina Fauvel-Ogden, Judy Drew, David Wells, Agata Lelek and Dr. Michael Marks.
