Artist Statement

I have enjoyed art all my life and drawn the things around me from a young age. Studying at university, a painting school in France and various workshops has made me love all the different mediums. Capturing people in everyday situations, rain scenes, back- lighting, portraits and colourful still-lives are all part of my repertoire.
