 MA Fine Art (2005),  FAETC Stage1 (2001),  MA Graphic Design  (1981),  BSC. Botany/Zoology(1977)

Background:  Based in Cardiff, early childhood spent in Blackwood and Cwmbran on a small farm. Produced botanical and natural history illustrations for museums,(botanical artist, National Museum of Wales, 1982-1990,) the publishing industry etc. incl. non-fiction children’s books.  Worked as a freelance animation background artist. Use most media including digital. 

These images give an idea of how I use drawing. In the past, it was mainly for personal records; places, events; observational records or a preliminary, /planning stage to be worked up as illustrations. Exploring ‘drawing’ as an end in itself is a relatively new approach for me. About four years ago, I did the UWIC’s  MA in Fine Art and shifted base .

 A part-time job now provides the freedom to explore, pull together the disparate strands of my previous work, re-find my own interests and bring fun back into things. The Drawing Group provides an important focus in this process.
