"An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language.”
Art was a subject I absolutely loved as a child but after leaving school, my creativity was channelled in the form of dance. My interest in art was revived when we moved to Abu Dhabi in 1997. I joined a pastel art group and really enjoyed learning how to create in this medium, progressing to participating in exhibitions with the group.
My love of animals makes them my natural subject matter; I find nothing more satisfying than trying to capture on canvas an animals personality. To further my knowledge, I studied Pet Portraiture with the London College of Art.
Originally I am from Dorset in the UK but have lived abroad for most of my adult life in various countries - Germany, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Philippines, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait. Life has been a very interesting adventure full of travel and experiencing different cultures but we have now relocated back to the UK, though I can't say the wanderlust won't return!
