I am a professional fine artist based in the historical town of Buxton. Through the use of vibrant colour, intricate pattern and detailed decoration, I explore and celebrate the richness of our architectural heritage. I believe that my background in design, a keen eye for detail and a love of travelling gives me a unique perspective on the built environment: bringing together architectural elements and decorative motifs with a rich colour palette. I have exhibited my work both in the UK and Europe, including at the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours Exhibition in London.
