Born in Wiltshire, UK, my journey as an artist has been shaped by a lifelong passion for drawing, a love for animals, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. Though I moved around in my early years—living in Newcastle, London, and Bournemouth—I spent most of my school years in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, where art became a constant in my life.
I was always drawing, painting, and staying late in the art classroom, which led to me winning a CBBC award for Most Dedicated Student. Following my passion, I earned two diplomas in Fine Art and Art Media at Wiltshire College and spent time exploring the great art museums of London. I originally applied for university to study Forensic Science and Art History, but life had other plans.
A charity trip to Kenya, Africa, changed everything—for the better. It was there that I met my husband, Marc, who was also on a gap year. After leaving Africa, I chose a different path, moving to Cardiff, Wales, where I continued to study, earning a Diploma in Sciences. My experiences in Africa reignited my creative spark, leading me back to art—this time, with a newfound love for pencil drawing.
From there, my journey took me across the world, traveling through Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and Europe before settling in Sweden with our beloved late dog, Rosie. It was during this time that my art grew into a thriving business. Eventually, we returned to Wales, where we have now made our home in the stunning Welsh Valleys.
Today, I create my artwork from my home studio, inspired by the essence of country living, biodiversity, and wildlife from around the globe. I share this life with my son, Oliver (who loves art just as much as I do), and our newest family member, Bonnie the puppy, who joined us in 2024.
My work is a reflection of my journey—combining my passion for wildlife, travel, and the beauty of the natural world into every piece I create
