I have been painting for about 15 years, in painting I find something relaxing, stimulating and challenging. Inspired by the ever changing moods of the Pennine landscape which I love, I use paint to create work that is contemporary and reflects the timeless qualities of the moors. The horizon fascinates me, what is over the edge, the effect of a sunset as the rays hit the land. I also produce cityscapes and seascapes and enjoy working in abstraction often inspired by music.

As an artist myself I am aware of the difficulties of balancing creativity with the need for a professional approach when running a business and i have experienced considerable success with my unique programme of goal setting using a creative framework. My approach is friendly and relaxed and I consider my ability to communicate effectively to be one of my main assets.

During my career I have owned two galleries Littleborough Gallery and Fresh from the Studio. I have also been a Director of a Social Enterprise helping disadvantaged women and am enthusiastic about this business model. I was business editor of Craft and Design for many years and still contribute articles to this and other publications. I have also been a judge at the The British Craft Trade Fair.
