I am a writer as well as an artist. My art work is about imagined stories. I paint and draw
and also compose digital collages.

I am fascinated by the past. Sometimes work is inspired by discarded old photos: who are these people, what lives did they have? Sometimes, I am inspired by my own photographs and other images to invent a narrative - a mysterious, slightly surreal story where nothing is clear.

I paint in oil and acrylic and draw in charcoal and pastel. I exhibit widely and also teach art to adults.
