As a self-taught figurative oil painter, I went on to graduate after an intensely enjoyable five years of part time study, from the University of Creative Arts, Canterbury with a BA in Fine Art.
My practice is informed by conceptualism and centres around issues to do with human identity, our relationships with each other and the world around us. I investigate topics as diverse and pertinent to everyone; from mothers and daughters, the family and what that means today, our British attitudes towards food, body image, homelessness, to portraying the practice of today's women artists. Throughout I reference my own self-discovery, optimism and physical acceptance as I come to terms with multiple sclerosis (MS), rheumatoid arthritis and loosing loved ones; which is a natural extension that has evolved from my experience as a Marie Curie affiliated community night nurse for the NHS. I exhibit mainly in galleries, from solo to group shows, including the Mall Galleries, portrait exhibition in London. |
