I was born in England but have lived for over 30 years in Düsseldorf. I studied Information Technology and worked for many years in this branch. After coming to Düsseldorf and working as a software engineer for a few years, I changed my profession and became self-employed as a Business English Trainer specialising in IT. I was always painting and having exhibitions alongside working. My painting is experimental and intuitive. Nature, colours and the actual act of painting itself, inspire me. During the first lockdown I began painting in watercolours. I've been travelling on a wonderful journey of discovery with them ever since. Although my works are abstract or semi-abstract they reflect my deep connection to nature. My viewers often comment how they feel they can recognise the places I've painted although they are all just out of my imagination. My intention is to evoke a connection through the painting with the viewer.
