Pencil picture, An Old Memory

I’m a Dorset-based graphite fine artist. My work connects the beauty surrounding us in the natural world with the beauty that is within us all. I’m inspired by the people I meet and by the incredible coastline and countryside of Dorset.

I work almost exclusively with wooden graphite pencils on paper. The act of drawing brings me peace, wellbeing and joy and I hope my drawings give that to you, too.

An intimate portrait of a loved one lost in thought

May work has been exhibited around Dorset, at Victoria Art Gallery in Bath, at Mall Galleries in London, in Wells Cathedral and online with the Federation of British Artists. I’m an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art.
