The world is wonderful isn't it. From the deepest red rose to the sandy temples of Egypt and the stunning brown eyes of your beloved pooch, everything is beautiful in its own way. This is what I like to capture in my art, the beauty of the subject in vibrant colour so it almost pops off the page.
I predominantly work in coloured pencil on Drafting Film, this surface is double sided and allows me to layer the film over other surfaces and to also work on the reverse side. I have spent a few years developing a style where the subjects of my art stand out, vibrant and centre stage against soft, muted backgrounds.
I have drawn for many years, beginning at a young age drawing pet portraits in high school, form there I moved onto pop art painting and moved back and forth between graphite, charcoal and coloured pencil. Fast forward 15 or so years with 10 years of travelling and experiencing other cultures, I eventually started to move away from the black and white pop art and start drawing in colour again. This is when I decided to start and take my art further. I enrolled on some long distance courses at London Art College and did these whilst working part time. First completing a Diploma in Drawing and Painting and then moving onto a Coloured Pencil course of which I received a Distinction in both. Following on from the Diploma I became a member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society and was very lucky to take part in their 2019 annual exhibition.
Since joining the UKCPS I have received Highly Commended certificates from their exhibitions, along with earning signature status from the Colored Pencil Society of America, also being featured in Colour Magazine and CP Magic - both excellent publications for colour pencil artists!
Throughout 2025 I have been collaborating with Grafix creating art works on various surfaces using colour pencil, ink, pastel and graphite. You can find the videos on my socials and on Grafix YouTube page.
Drawing has been a life long passion and I feel very lucky to be able to create pieces for clients not only in the UK but abroad too. I love drawing and get lost in all the colour, detail and different textures so I am happy to draw most anything.
