I am an artist and art teacher, living and working in Maidstone, Kent. I take my inspiration from Nature, drawing and making prints of the birds, plants and animals I see around me everyday and sometimes those that are a little harder to find.
Sketching from life is the starting point of everything I do, it feeds both my drawing and printmaking.
I am especially interested in birds, how our relationships with them shift over time, what we have lost and gained.
