I am an artist, writer, teacher and coach living in Buxton, Derbyshire.

After successful careers in business, marketing and psychotherapy in 2010 I reengaged with my earlier interest in art. Since then I have continued to develop my work through a self-directed programme of study including international courses, coaching and critical discussion groups. In January 2023 I closed my clinical psychotherapy practice to focus full time on my art.

I now have representation with two galleries, I exhibit nationally and I sell my work online. I am an experienced workshop facilitator and teacher both online and face to face. I run an international annual course called Directions in Abstraction and in 2023 I wrote a book on sketchbook practice called Creative Connections: A 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge with two further volumes planned.

I have had a solo exhibition with Cupola Contemporary Art in Sheffield, and been part of the Winter Open Show at Linden Hall Studio, Deal and the Summer Open Show at Tarpey Gallery Castle Donnington. 

My work has been represented at The Manchester Art Fair (2023, 2022, 2021), the Other Art Fair (2022), the Bath Art Fair (2023) the Edinburgh Art Fair with Number Four Gallery St Abbs (2021).

I was a member of Peak District Artisans (2018, 2019) exhibiting at Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall and The Great Dome Art Fair.

My work can be found in private collections throughout the UK and in the USA, France and Ireland.
