"I come from a very arty family and have painted all my life, my uncle is a professional artist, my sister is a metal sculptor and my mum is a hobby potter. I love the play between tight and loose or realism and abstraction. I literally bounce out of bed looking forward to painting every day! I have come a long way technically in the past six months and the excitement of not knowing where this progression will take me in the next six months is a huge motivator. I am loving the journey and people liking and buying my work is hugely gratifying."
