At age three or four, I can remember drawing all the time. I was interested in drawing incredible women in beautiful dresses. You’d never believe this to see me.

I continued drawing all through my school years and into my twenties. I even took another A Level in art at evening class because I could do life drawing. This is still a great love of mine. The textures of animals draw me to try and create their fur and skin and I love using graphite to achieve this.

The sea is also a great love of mine and I am striving to capture the sense of energy and strength that you see especially on the North Cornish Coast.
