Hello! Another sign of Spring in the sporting world comes in the form of the Cheltenham Festival – an intoxicating mix of racing, mud, heartbreak and elation. I watch the horses and jockeys race with my heart in my mouth, just praying they get round safely! The first two days have been as exciting as ever – sport at its most extreme. Here a my drawings:

Kicking up!
I’m a mixed media visual artist working in Leicestershire in the UK. I trained in Fine Art using different media including oils and acrylics, but my recent work reflects my love of drawn media, especially pen, ink, watercolour and pastels. My theme is movement – My subjects are varied from landscape, animals, musicians, dancers and sport, especially cycling. The unifying feature of all these subjects is that they are constantly changing – there is movement and energy everywhere.
