I work predominantly in ink and love to draw the things that I love: animals, flowers and nature.

When drawing, I try to create realistic studies that convey character and capture the beauty of the natural world using fine lines, marks and stippling.

I received my BA in graphic communication 15 years ago from Bath. Since then, I have been working as a primary school teacher but have continued to draw in my spare time.

I live in Kent with my husband, and love reading, gardening, flower arranging, and, of course, my dog.
