BIO
I was born in Wales , UK , moving to the USA 24 years ago and hold a Masters of Fine Art- Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute , a Bachelors of Art in Fashion and Textiles from Manchester College of Art , UK and a 2 year Art Foundation from Hereford School of Art & Design , UK .
As a practicing artist , with a record of exhibition in states such as SC , FL , NM , AZ , and OK , I continue to develop my work , in addition to making commissioned pieces . I was honored to be included in the exhibit : “ Abstract Art in SC , 1949-2012 ”, State Museum , Columbia , SC , in 2012 . Other highlights include invitational exhibits such as :
“ Redux Contemporary , Charleston , SC- 2015 , “ Artfields ”, Lake City , NC . “ Contemporary Charleston - Influences ” 2011 , City Gallery , Charleston , SC . “ 30 th Parallel- a Convergence of Contemporary Painting ”, 2005 , JMOMA , Jacksonville , FL “ CYMK ”, 2005 , Trans America Pyramid , San Francisco , CA .
In addition to practicing as a professional artist , I have been an art educator at university level . The push and pull , alongside the juggling of time and focus can be difficult to deal with at times , but has been very rewarding . To see a young person really get it , and develop a passion that will carry them along , is exhilarating .
