I have always loved to draw, paint and generally be creative. In 2006 I completed a BA Hons degree in Illustration at the Arts University in Bournemouth. I then got a taste for teaching, teaching English abroad with spells in the UAE and Bahrain. I then returned to the UK to compIete a PGCE and have taught in secondary schools since. I currently teach Art and Design at a secondary school in Salisbury and fit in as much of my own drawing as possible.

For my urban sketches I work in watercolour, brush pens and fine liners layering up the work over several stages. I love to work on location, but am just as happy to work from a photo.

I work digitally to produce my pet portrait, working on an ipad pro using Procreate. All I need to get started is a fairly decent photo, which shows enough detail to reference. I can then print these myself up to A3 on high quality photo paper in either lustre of matt finish.
