Artist painter from Margate, Kent with a particular focus on seascapes and portraits . A blend of self taught and a year at Boston University School of Fine Arts plus short courses . Inspired by local light, colours of the coast and faces seen every day . Painted 14 free portraits for Portraits for NHS Heroes which led to a short feature on BBC Southeast Today. Shortlisted for Turner Fringe Prize for a painting of the shelter at Margate Sands made famous by TS Eliot. Part of exhibitions at The Pie Factory, Westgate Galleria and Lovely’s , both in Margate . Looking forward to more opportunities to show and create work .
