From the moment I could hold a pencil I was sketching ad painting everything in sight. I first became interested in portraiture at the age of nine when I drew portraits of my fellow classmates and teachers at school, when I was supposed to be studying. More recently I have been experimenting with other mediums like oils, acrylics and especially soft pastels. I really like their feel and blendability and their vibrant colours.

My family are a great inspiration to me and have also recently had some success getting commissions of portraits of pets and people in both pastels and acrylics.

This is me with my two beautiful daughters, Nikita and Heidi.
