I have been drawing horses and animals for as long as I can remember,  Growing up I spent alot of time horse riding  and we had a constant menagerie in our house in North London. At one point we had 2 cats, 3 kittens, 1  dog, 2 budgies and a tank full of tadpoles! not to mention a mouse in the pantry and five children.

Art and creativity are an integral part of me. It has the ability to lift the soul, evoke emotion and bring us comfort in the memories of things we love. As a proud mum and cancer survivor, art has always helped me to express my emotions and gives me a sense of peace when creating it. The process of creating something from a blank page  is both humbling and awe inspiring.

When I'm creating a portrait, I love knowing the background of the subject, little stories that give me clues to their character and personality. This helps me get a feeling for them and capture they're spirit in the image which is especially important if they have passed.  It's the ultimate reward to make someone happy (and there have been a few joyful tears) - it is the best feeling.
