I have been painting watercolours for more than 20 years and I like to think of my artistic talent as a gift.

My main focus lies in painting flowers but I do paint other subjects including trees, gardens, houses, churches, streetscapes, landscapes and animals.
A significant number of these have been commissioned.

I belong to a number of Societies and particularly value my membership of two - the Florilegium Society of Chelsea Physic Garden and the Welland Valley Arts Society.

I am honoured to be a founder member of the Florilegium Society and to have contributed a number of paintings to the archive of the Physic Garden. Recently I have been further honoured by being made a Fellow of the Florilegium Society.

My paintings have been hung in local exhibitions and galleries and in many venues around the UK - including the Society of Botanical Artists in London.

My works have found new owners in many parts of this country, while others have gone to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and various European countries.
