I was born in England and grew up on the foothills of Mount Kenya and later lived in North Africa, America and Bermuda. Artistically I have been educated in the UK, Germany and the States. In February 2005 I was lucky enough to come to live here in Bahrain.
My first exhibition was held in the States in 1989 and since then I have exhibited every year and sometimes more often in America, the UK and Bahrain.
Many things have influenced my work of course but the two biggest influences have been Patricia Tobacco Forrester in Washington DC with whom I studied and Shirley Trevena, the mixed media guru who works in England. Bahrain has helped my work to continue developing.
I like to paint natural subjects. Few things give me greater pleasure than when a client tells me how much joy a painting of mine has given them.
My work can be found in private collections in the US, the UK, Bermuda, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Bahrain. In January 2014 I was honoured by being selected for the 40th Fine Arts Exhibition here.
