About the Artist

Fragility of life
‘Fragility’

I always painted and had my sketch book in my hand as a child, I did not, however, study art in university until in my late 20’s. Fascinated with Tromp L’oil images I became fascinated with perspective and illusion. I found psychology increasingly important, even essential, as a tool to express my identity, personal beliefs, memories, and future vision. Visual imagery was the only way that I could tell my story.

After graduating I became a lecturer of Art and Design in a College of Further Education. It was an amazing 18 years; sharing ideas, techniques, concepts, and participating in in-depth debates… some of which got quite expressive!

I have now retired from teaching and intend to work full time on my own art work, of which I am very excited about.

I have exhibited and sold a number of my paintings in:

  • Royal Cambrian Academy, Conwy
  • Albany Gallery, Cardiff
  • Washington Gallery, Penarth
  • Aspects of Wales, Pontardawe Arts Centre, Swansea
  • Swansea Maritime Museum, Swansea
