An artist based in Hampshire, UK
My watercolour journey is rooted in a predominantly self-taught practice, driven by a deep passion for capturing the beauty of the natural world. I am a proud member of the Association of Animal Artists, with whom I have had the privilege of exhibiting my work on several occasions. In 2026, I was honoured to exhibit at the International Watercolour Masters, having been selected from over 2,400 national entries. While animal subjects are my primary focus, I have also dabbled in landscapes, and I was thrilled to be chosen to exhibit at Buckler’s Hard alongside the winners of the prestigious "Landscape Artist of The Year" competition. Each piece I create is a step forward in my ongoing exploration of watercolour’s luminous possibilities.
