"Art is an undeniable necessity, an intrinsic element that defines my life. From my first crayola - I was hooked."

Preferring to paint with professional soft pastel, I enjoy the immediacy of the medium and its saturation of colour. My work is painted on both canvas panels and sanded paper, with or without a watercolour or acrylic underpainting.

I particularly enjoy taking my art outdoors and have painted many of my works "en plein air".
