I have been drawing and painting since childhood. Initially self-taught, I later studied as a mature student at Mid-Warwickshire College of Art in Leamington Spa. As an artist in the UK, drawing remains the foundation of my work, which has evolved to encompass a wide range of media, from still life to abstraction.
The inspiration for my paintings comes from various sources—the intricacies of the human form, observations of daily life across different cultures, and a deeper, subconscious creative force that reveals itself in my abstract work.
Work has been exhibited at a number of National and Local Exhibitions,
