My love of drawing began as soon as I could grab hold of a pencil or crayon.  Without knowing why', the impulse was an instinctive one and became a language for me. Maybe it was a way to better understand the world around me or the quiet sense of calm that enveloped me and awakened my intuition, but for whatever reasons, drawing felt natural

and filled me with hours of pleasure and serenity that continues to this day.  

My artistic journey eventually took me to a Fine Arts Degree to teaching Art to creating a Graphic Design business and during all that time I continued to explore and engage in courses, classes and workshops, becoming inspired by a variety of experienced teachers and supportive fellow Artists.
