I live in Somerset where I paint mostly self-portraits, but also people, animals, nature, and objects in oil paint. I have been painting for about fifteen years on and off, coming back to it after not picking up a paintbrush since my Art A ‘level in 1996. Every year I paint I see the progress that I make and the changes in my style and confidence. ­­
