I am an artist based in Hull in East Yorkshire. I initially studied printed textile design at Manchester. The main emphasis of the course was drawing, colour study and surface pattern design. My love of colour, pattern and harmony has increased over the years.

I mostly work in acrylics and mixed media. I like using mixed media because of the element of surprise. I never quite know at the onset of a piece of work where it is leading - I try to go with the flow and see what happens to some extent.

My work is colourful and decorative and I always aim to produce harmonious compositions.

I have also painted several murals in child friendly settings, which vary in size and subject matter.

When I am not painting murals I exhibit in local and national exhibitions.
