Welcome!

I enjoy working in the visual arts as a Fine Artist, Designer & Illustrator, Medical Artist, Art Tutor/ Demonstrator and Writer.

My favourite subjects to paint?  I love figurative artwork and painting portraits…..and animal art, especially of horses, pets, birds and wildlife!  Landscapes is another love.  I work in all media ranging from pencil, charcoal and pastel to delicate watercolours, acrylics and vibrant oil paintings.  I can work in all sizes…but do enjoy the challenge of a large oil painting!

Having had a change of career mid life from nursing and midwifery to ‘My Life in Art’, whilst coping with a busy family life I have experienced the fun and the challenges of trying to make a living as an artist…..and I have made many friends along the way.

My involvement in art is multifaceted.  My background in healthcare explains my fascination with medical art and the bio-sciences, which resulted in my training as a medical artist with the Medical Artists Education Trust here in the UK.  In 2008 I qualified as a Medical Artist, and became a Professional Member of the Medical Artists Association (UK) and a Registered Medical Illustration Practitioner.  I now create artwork for the medical, veterinary and scientific communities, working in both traditional media and computer graphics (www.tembographics.com.)  My knowledge of anatomy and physiology helps in my work as a Fine Artist.
 

My love of Fine Art and the wish to learn more about the industry led to my applying for membership of the Fine Art Trade Guild and in 2009 I was elected as a Member.  In 2011, I was honoured to be invited to sit on the Fine Art Committee of the Guild.
 

I enjoy exhibiting with my friends in the Association of Animal Artists, an active art group that runs workshops, reference visits, Art Rendezvous and an en plein air painting group.  I am proud to be Chairman, a Trustee and a Founder Member of AAA.
 

I love writing and am a Full Member of the Writers Guild.  It is always a great thrill to be able to combine my love of art with my writing, which is why I enjoy being a Regular Contributor (Artist/Writer) to Leisure Painter Magazine and an Art Demonstrator for The Artist and Leisure Painter Magazines. `

I have a great interest in promoting art education and it is always a thrill when I am invited to give an Art Demonstration or run an Art Workshop.  In 2011, I was honoured to be Artist in Residence at BBC Radio Lancashire and enjoyed working on a variety of projects to help bring art to all.  I started teaching animal art workshops in the 2026 Gallery at Radio Lancashire in Blackburn. At the same time I was thrilled to be invited to put on a solo art exhibition in the Gallery.  I was then invited by BBC Radio Lancashire to run a series of portrait art workshops….and our model was ‘Gilly’ (Radio Presenter John Gillmore.)  In October I was very honoured to be invited to teach a BBC Art Masterclass with a wonderful model Nisha.

I was very honoured to be invited to exhibit my artwork at the Animal Art Fair in 2011.  Here is the video which includes a short interview with me!
