I have been drawing and painting since I was a child. ‘Art’ has allowed me to investigate both myself and the world around me. It has also allowed me to express myself like nothing else!

I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to study with very fine and patient people, including the late, great Jack Richard, Mark Giangaspero, Susan Mencini, and others.

I have also had the luxury of being surrounded by other artists who are far more talented than me. This has prompted me to try to learn from them, to borrow from them, to make mistakes in front of them, and to get valued feedback from them.

Painting, drawing, mixed-media…it all fascinates me and makes me proud to, in a small way, call myself an ‘artist’!
