I was born in London and grew up in the Middle East. I went to a Quaker schooI in the mountains in Lebanon which profoundly shaped how I see the world. I now live in Pembrokeshire, Wales where I have my studio.

I lived in London for quite a few years between stints in the Middle East as a child and while studying for my BA (hons) degree in Illustration at Kingston University. As soon as I finished my studies I moved to Wiltshire where I lived for many years bringing up a family and completing an MFA at Bath Spa University.

I moved to Pembrokeshire twelve years ago and have loved living by the sea and in the country. I get inspiration from being outdoors and have a strong pull for the coastline.

I have always been a painter and gain great joy and a sense of purpose by exploring my materials and imagination in painting and drawing.
