How would you describe the work you do and why?:

I take inspiration for my work from the wildlife and farm animals that surround my countryside home. Including my own chickens and bees.
I used my own unique and energetic style to convey something of the personality and character of the animals I draw and paint.

For you what does being an artist mean?:

I live to draw and paint! I am always trying to challenge myself by trying out new techniques. Since giving up my job almost two years ago it has also become my new career and has provided an income. How lucky am I though to be doing something I love for a living. It is my passion as are my subjects which I choose to paint or draw. I have always loved the natural world and would describe myself as an ' observationalist ' noting colours, sounds, textures, small details. So I can truly say my work is me !

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:

I am a Wildlife & Farm Animal Artist

Other than this I am pretty much a self taught artist. Whilst in my early years teaching role my artistic skills were always put into good use.
