I live in Weybridge and had a long and happy career in graphic design specialising in branding. I have also created pet portraits on commission from clients around the world, greetings cards and wildlife art prints which were stocked in selected stores in the UK.

 

I love hand embroidery, and always have a project on the go. Since Covid, I have worked towards a new fulfilling career where I can share my knowledge to help others.

As a family we spend time in Park City, Utah. The wildlife and rural mountain landscape, barns and towns are endlessly fascinating. Moose, mule deer and numerous species of bird and mammals, including osprey, marmots and beaver are regularly in the neighbourhood. 

​

I am drawn to Americana and the western landscape of America, typography on old trucks, shops and diners; cowboys, ranch life and small town America . I love using bold colours in my work and creating a piece that is impactful. Through my course, I am learning so much about the vast and diverse cultural history of America with so many aspects to understand and influences to draw upon.

If you're wondering why some of my social media posts are from Utah – that's why!
