ABOUT ME
At the end of 2008 I decided to make a commitment to my art. Ive been back in the UK for almost two years & felt I haven't been as committed as I was in Mauritius; there are so many distractions! Not anymore. Making this conscious decision to put my creativity first has synchronised my life. Amazing things have been happening for me in such a short time. Who knows where I will be this time next year!
Since leaving College at the age of 17 I have become a self taught artist.
Born in the Uk, I lived in manchester until moving to Mauritius in 2002 & recently I returned back to the Uk.
My studio is currently in Northwich, Cheshire.
When I am not painting I create my Angel Vs Devil Jewellery, practise Holistic therapies such as Reiki, Crystal Therapy and do Voluntary work.
Being interested in nature, Angels & the importance of having a deeper knowledge of our planet,
practice Reiki & try to meditate as often as I can.
I use energy as a tool to help heal others,
the environment and to inspire my art.
I have had many life changing and profound moments one being a vision quest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California.
Camping alone within the wilderness, drinking only water (no food!) for four days & four nights
was a challenging & unforgetable experience which I draw upon to grow creatively
and share inspiringly through my art.
I have successfully built my own website, all three of them,
promoted my creativity through various exhibitions, galleries, shops & online galleries.
Now many of my paintings have new homes worldwide.
I am constantly updating my website linking to many other worthwhile organisations, artists & creative bodies.
I work hard at every aspect of my creativity, including the exposure of it.
It's definitely the most full time job I will ever experience! 
Artist Statement
My paintings begin with feelings derived from statements, poetry and alternative perspectives bordering on a spiritual level. The intention is to create a piece of art which can have an emotional and enlightening impact on the viewer. The purpose is not over-articulating my work. I aspire to enable individual relationships with each onlooker rather than alienating them.
I take pleasure in working the contrasts between the smooth blended airbrush and/or paintbrush, to the rough undulating textures and discovering new ways to create textures, luminosity and depth; I also enjoy uncovering the contrasts connecting and opposing colours and exposing the relationships concealing them.
I choose to take art back to basics, by stripping away any facade I facilitate in sharing the exploration of my inner universe. Take you on a journey of the cosmos around me and the discovery of art being a spiritual experience.
