About Me

When my youngest of four sons was just 2 years old, I enrolled in my local school to study A-level Art & Design, with the Great George Wagstaffe, (Artist & Sculptor) embarking on a two-year journey alongside sixth formers. Balancing the responsibilities of motherhood with the demands of academic study and now part time career as a Civil Servant ,was challenging. It was a challenge I embraced wholeheartedly. Throughout those two years, I dedicated myself to honing my skills, experimenting with different techniques, and expanding my creative horizons. Along with the process of researching, writing, and refining a thesis, culminating in the proud achievement of a grade A. Studying alongside younger peers brought fresh perspectives and invigorated my creative spirit.

Once I had made the decision to pursue art full time, I actively participated in numerous retail fairs and exhibitions, showcasing my art to diverse audiences and building a strong network within the artistic community. These events were crucial in establishing my reputation and connecting with clients who appreciated the vibrancy of my work.

I then began also collaborating with an interior designer, who was not incorporating Indian art into the Indian restaurants he was shopfitting. He saw potential in my ideas and put his faith in me. This opportunity allowed me to showcase my work in many restaurants in London and the surrounding areas.

I have over the years had the pleasure of delivering numerous workshops for both children and adults, sharing my passion and techniques in oil painting. In these sessions, I taught participants how to create stunning artworks using a palette knife, exploring the dynamic and textured effects it can produce. These workshops have been incredibly fulfilling, allowing me to inspire and nurture creativity in others while fostering a sense of community.

Today, I work from the comfort of my home studio, a space that has become my creative haven. My home studio is a reflection of my journey, filled with the tools, materials, and memories that have shaped my work. Here, I continue to experiment with various mediums and textures, incorporating elements like embroidery and textured layers.
