Main media
Watercolour but constantly changing

Key Influences
My work is largely autobiographical, confronts issues such
as mental health, autism, disabilities etc., linked to teaching experience.

Artistic Ambition
To make people see as much beauty in the world as I do.
The more the better. To focus on the good not on the bad.
