< Back to Artists

My original background is Architecture and I have always been a frustrated artist. I spent many an absent school day sitting on the beach drawing all day until is was time to go home for tea. When I finally managed to retire from work it gave me the chance to rekindle my desire to become an artist once more. I have a vivid imagination and many of my art pieces show this and are often referred to as whimsical art, but equally I like to draw realistic art such as wildlife. I produce both line art using ink and watercolours.

Venue: Coble Cottage, High Street

Medium: Lineart and Watercolour
