I am influenced by many artists’ works because I am changing my subject constantly. But I will say I love Toulouse Lautrec’s work because it is quite quirky and sometimes comical.

When I’m not painting. I play lawn bowls with a Ladies team.

I might be in a minority, but I hardly ever listen to music when I paint.

My day starts of with a glass of water and then my exercise routine.

I have a protein shake for breakfast, then onto my studio. I usually have a few paintings on the go at once.

My personal story would come out in my eclectic artwork. I have ADHD, therefore have traits such as hyperfocus, impulsivity, and high energy to fuel creativity. I use art to fuel my emotions, find focus and manage chaotic thoughts, this allows me to produce intense work for hours or days.

I hope my audiences see something in my art that touches them emotionally.
