I am a self-taught artist from Hemel Hempstead who primarily works with watercolour paint. I have always demonstrated artistic talent which first went noticed at my first ever parents evening in nursery, when the soon to retire nursery teacher said she’d never seen such exceptional talent in a 4 year old during her whole career. Throughout my childhood, I enjoyed art and it has always been my favourite hobby. As an adult, I qualified as a nursery nurse and then a primary school teacher where I love to explore the arts with the children. I delved deeper into art in my mid-late twenties to distract myself from the challenges of living with inflammatory bowel disease and axial spondyloarthritis. When I create art I feel incredible and it separates me from the hard parts of life. I enjoy creating art with my son and inspiring him to become an artist himself. I am so proud of my work and hope to continue creating artwork for myself and others to enjoy.
