For Artweek, I have transformed the old wash house in our cottage garden into a gallery. It's packed full of pastel and watercolour pictures. You can also see my sketchbooks.

Subjects include Oxfordshire, West Country, London, Venice, Greece, New York and Amsterdam. Pictures of villages, cities, harbours and coastlines. What attract me are the atmosphere and colours of the scene. Almost all my pictures are based on sketches or photographs of places I have visited.

I have sketched since I was nine. I am self-taught. Last year, I had a picture selected for the Pastel Society annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London.
