After studying painting in Wolverhampton and Surrey, I spent many years as a travelling artist, creating artworks and illustrations for museums, schools, theatre groups, potteries and community centres. all round the country These days I mostly work from home to produce illustrations for local businesses, and exhibit regularly with the Aberystwyth Illustrators Group.
Meanwhile I have continued to produce paintings for exhibition and commission. My paintings reflect my fascination for my home town of Wolverhampton, situated in the middle of the industrial belt known as the Black Country. I often collaborate with different artists, and my most recent collaborations are with the artist Suzanne Lanchbury, in a series of joint exhibitions in West Wales. I will be exhibiting with Suzanne in 2019 in the Midlands. I will also be appearing with the writers David Sedaris, Helen Fielding and Illustrators Samantha DIon Baker and Kev Sutherland at the British Library on 7th March 2019, to talk about our diaries, in a show hosted by the author Nina Stibbe. www.bl.uk/events/helen-fielding-and-david-sedaris-in-conversation-with-nina-stibbe |
