This early obsession continued throughout my education, and whenever asked what I wanted to do when I grew up the answer was always to be an artist! I was extremely lucky to have a fantastic art department at college where I really found my strengths in draftsmanship, particularly in life class. Upon receiving my BA in Fine Art from the University of Reading, I was determined not to stop the journey that I had started, and continued to paint wherever and whenever I could. I was only interested in becoming a painter; I could not, and still can not, imagine a life without having to return to the canvas every day. Thankfully the work that I was producing seemed to resonate with people, and the confidence this gave me lead me to the door of Washington Green, who have allowed me to realize my dreams. |
