About Me
As a child, drawing was my safe place, and this theme has been the constant and passionate thread throughout my life. I have a BA In Fine Art Painting, a qualification in Mental Health Problems and PGCERT Teaching in Higher Education. Apart from teaching art to adults, I also offer services in illustration. With a strong leaning towards Neurodiversity and mental health, my work is diversely metaphorical. I was shortlisted in the top 5 inaugural ‘Womankind’ Magazine Art and Illustration Awards in 2019, and have since been commissioned to illustrate for Oh Magazine (Issue 55), and featured in Dream Broad (Issue 4), in the USA. I am also the author of ‘My Wellbeing Art Journal’ (available on Amazon) and the Exploring You Journal available on Etsy UK and Amazon worldwide. In 2023 I held the ‘Unmasked’ solo show at Bradford Industrial Museum, which recorded a footfall of 8968 for the duration of the exhibition.
My Style
With my background in Fine Art Painting, my style is influenced by other narrative artists such a Paula Rego and Frida Kahlo, and I use traditional methods of drawing and painting to represent subject matter. I mainly use biro, acrylic paint and coloured pencils, but sometimes also use watercolour.
