After leaving artcollege, at the age of nineteen, I worked as a textile designer for seventeen fabulous years, creating hundreds of original designs and thousands of colourways for a company that supplied mattress tickings and duvet sets to the bedding industry.
Five years after becoming a mother, I decided to take a job as an Arts & Design Technology Technician in a large secondary school on the outskirts of Manchester. Seeing my people portraits and continuous attendance of Stockport Art Guild's portrait evenings, in 2012, a colleague at the school asked me to paint his mother in law's dog and I haven’t stopped painting people’s beautiful pets since then.
DO get in touch if you'd like a portrait for yourself or a friend!
