I spent most of childhood walking along both Hastings Beach and around Hampstead Heath.
I would watch the changing cloud formations and the shapes of the coastline. Everyday the horizon delivered a new view to inspire my painting.
Introduced to oil paints at an early age I soon recognised the freedom I felt when painting.
When I left school I saved up my money to rent an art studio where I focused on painting seascapes.
One day while walking home with a painting under my arm, I was stopped and offered the use of an empty shop as an art gallery.
Aged 17, I opened my own art gallery in Hastings, exhibiting 100 Faces of Hastings.
I saved my money to then move to Paris (where I completed: 100 Faces of Paris) before starting at St.Andrews University to study History of Art.
