I studied Fine Art in the 1980s at Loughborough College of Art & Design and at The University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, exhibiting and selling my work in a variety of venues from Settle in North Yorkshire to Covent Garden in London.

I have developed my painting alongside my work as an illustrator, graphic designer and publishing manager at Loughborough University. Experience, knowledge and understanding of book design and production enable me to deliver publications from design concepts to delivery in print and electronic media.
