I won a painting competition when I was seven, and my teacher told me, "You could be an artist!". At age eleven, I was commissioned whilst on holiday in Italy (Maddaloni, Near Caserta) to paint in oils on canvas a large mural of the Madonna and child to replace a wooden mural which had burned during firework celebrations.
I have always been self-employed in desktop publishing, but in March 2005, changed career to realise a lifelong ambition to become a professional artist - and have not looked back!
All the items for sale on this website are designed by me, around my paintings, printed in the studio on a large format printer, and collated, punched, trimmed, bound and folded by hand. These designs and products are unique, and are available only through this website, through me personally by telephone or email, or at some exhibitions and displays in which I participate.
