I adore nature and this has inspired my art over the years. I enjoy the way the natural world is full of surprises and how it brings awe and wonder into my life. I work in many different media and enjoy combining unexpected materials with beautiful effect. As well as being an artist I am an art teacher and enjoy so much helping others see creativity and bring works of art into being.
