Born into an Anglo/Dutch family in Cambridge in 1960. I studied Graphics and Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art 1978-82 and an MA in Fine art and critical practise in 2019. I had representation with a Gallery who took my work worldwide. I am a member of CDS. My works have made pre-selection over the years in prestigious exhibitions with many making the final selection.
The MA was a positive experience and has made me think more about why and how I paint. The writing was a challenge, it was hard translating the visual into something verbal. I am happiest when I am creating.
Nature is a continual inspiration, I am continually exploring new ways of relating to the woodlands and landscapes I walk in, weaving an elaborate dialogue with nature where I become just one more element of the whole. I enjoy painting outside on my walks and bringing them back to my studio to complete. My garden is a continual source of pleasure and energy.
