| Biography |
I
studied textile design at Northbrook College in Worthing from 1972
to
1976 and, following this, worked for two London textile studios as a floral designer.
In 1979 I went to live in Los Angeles where I freelanced, doing production ready
artwork for various manufacturers. I then spent a year in New
Mexico, living in a shack in an old coal mining town, painting wildlife and botanical
subjects, and selling through a gallery in Santa Fe. I returned home in 1984,
and began doing illustration for books, magazines and advertising, as well as
textile design. Recent clients
have included Sainsbury's, London Transport and Mitchell Beazley.
In the last few years, since having a family, I have returned to painting and
have been exhibiting in our open house during Brighton's Arts Festival; at the
Hunter Gallery in Suffolk, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour
at the Mall Galleries London I now work very freely in watercolour, with the
minimum of compositional drawing; this gives the paintings an unpremeditated
look, which
attempts to express the beautiful but transitory nature of the subject matter-
fruit , flowers and vegetables
