I gained an HND with Distinction in Calligraphy, Illumination and Heraldic Art from Reigate School of Art in 1997. I work as a freelance lettering artist from my studio in Seaford, East Sussex.

On the rare occasion I do not have a pen or brush in my hand, you’ll find me holding a Cornish Gig oar! I am a member of Newhaven Gig Rowing Club. I love gig racing and have competed at the World Gig Champs in the Isles of Scilly as well as lots of other race events. As a member of the “Seaford Mermaids” I enjoy a daily swim in Seaford Bay all year round.

Some clients : The United Grand Lodge of England, The National Archives, The Weald and Downland Museum, The Parkinson Disease Society, Balfour Beatty, London Livery Companies, Uckfield Town Twinning Association, Nutley Windmill, Saracens Rugby Club, Molton Brown, Jo Malone, The College of Arms, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, King and McGaw, F G Marshalls, Mont Blanc, Burrells Jewellers, Claridges Hotel, Academy of Achievment (USA), Richmond Borough Council, Arundel Town Council local churches and many private clients in the UK and abroad.

My love of letters, and passion for sharing my knowledge, resulted in being invited to teach classes. I am a fully inclusive tutor encouraging and welcoming all abilities into the fascinating world of "A - Z". My mantra is "Come in, come in!". I teach weekly classes to my group "Weald Scribes" (see Events) and also offer monthly workshops. I welcome absolute beginners as well as those with experience.

I am passionate about all forms of lettering, on any media, from the classic to the contemporary. My specialty is working on manuscript calfskin vellum from William Cowley. I use the finest handmade papers with ground Chinese stick inks, designer gouache and gilding with gold (raised, flat and shell).
