I originally trained as a dentist and spent 25 years working in the NHS specialising in Children's Dentistry in the Community and Hospital Dental Services. I have always painted and over the years took many weekend and evening classes when time permitted between work and family commitments. I finally managed to study art formally, part time, over 6 years whilst still working as a dentist and then in 2012 had a career change to work as a full time artist.
