About Me

Self Employed Artist based in Essex, England. I live with my partner Neil and our mini schnauzer Preston. I am a full time freelance painter and textile artist working from a mid century bungalow with tropical plants and my 1953 Chevy woody wagon.With my background of printed textile design my paintings and artworks are full of pattern and pictorial themes. I have a passion for vintage fabrics from Lucienne Day to Ray Eames, which inspire my work along with trips to California and Hawaii.I have extensive experience with leading workshops and projects for children and adults of all abilities in schools, museums and galleries across the county.My work has often been described as illustrative and retro with a modern twist. The works on canvas and textile creations are very Mid 20th-Century modern inspired with varied influences from atomic to primitive.My commercial client list includes. JD Weatherspoons, M Modern Gallery USA, Kelly’s Market Place USA, Firstsite, Essex County Council, The Gardens of Easton Lodge, The London Garden Show, First Great Eastern Railways, Tom Cody design US, The walker Art Gallery, Port Sunlight Museum, to name a few.
