    Having come from a family background of music and art I have always enjoyed the creative opportunities inspired by working with different media, initially with soft pastel and more recently working in charcoal, acrylic and oils. Living in West Cornwall offers the chance to attend life drawing classes at St Ives, Truro and Redruth and the occasional 'masterclass' which are all extremely useful with gifted tutors and mentors on hand. I have exhibited with local art societies and groups including the St Agnes Society of Artists and am a member of the St Ives School of art. I have also been accepted as a member of the St Ives Art Club, Cornwall. My original work involved constructing art pieces using driftwood, rope and other flotsam which I was able to collect whilst living next to the beach at Chapel Porth at the time. I evolved a rustic style of furniture which proved very popular and successfully exhibited and sold these using the internet. However, moving away from the coast made it more difficult to sustain and as many more folk were discovering the unique beauty of driftwood I turned my attention back to drawing and painting.

    This was a great experience for me as I was able to place a seamless order and received the item within a reasonable delivery time. Buying original pieces of art can be expensive but Art Gallery have made it affordable for everyone. I sometimes however get emails about new art being released and does links don't work when I click on them so if that's fixed then great.

    I love this painting, it has a freedom about it. The figure could have been drawn from life, she is lost in her dancing. I like very much that it's painted on driftwood. It makes it different and some how suits the subject.
