"When I left school I took a different route and did little art for the next twenty years. A couple of years ago I had an epiphany and started to paint and sketch. I quickly became addicted. Lockdown was a catalyst and fast forwarded my talent. I now produce sketches, watercolours and large canvases inspired by Suffolk."

"All my paintings are windows on to places I love to be. My artwork is inspired by colourful flowers, magnificent old buildings and beautiful skies. My style is nostalgic. I strip out all the noise and chaos of modern life. It is the opposite of these turbulent times. Pure frivolous escapism. I hope it lightens your soul."
