How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

I draw and paint the natural world finding marks and colours to express the subject. The painting/drawing develops in it's own way, potentially leading to an exciting image that, although several times removed from the original subject, retains its spirit. Drawing is at the core of my work which then develops in different mediums - oil and acrylic paint and collage.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

Being creative provides the opportunity to think laterally, to take risks and challenge expectations and boundaries. After working full-time as a journalist, largely to briefs and deadlines, I can now do as I please. Art is vital to society, for nourishing our self-expression and our mental well being. We all have different forms of creativity inside us, not least in thinking and how we live our lives; sadly, many people never find a path with which to express this.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

Paintings, drawings and collage. Studio situated in Trenchard Street, Ross on Wye.

Your practice & activities include e.g workshops, teaching: 

I write about my work and have published a book of my drawings - Wild Margins, Drawings and Inspirations (Amazon). My paintings have been accepted and hung at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and images have been reproduced in books and magazines. I have enjoyed collaborating with poets.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice: 

Putney School of Art and Eastbourne School of Art. Open University degree including the Art and it's Histories' module (Distinction). Lifelong learning has enabled me to take part in many exciting and challenging workshops and courses.
