Was there anything from your upbringing that you feel led to this creative journey?
My grandmother was an artist. She studied at the Slade School of Art in the early part of the 19th century, in an age when it was still relatively unusual for women to study art. I’m lucky in that I’ve come from a family that has always supported my choice to follow a career as a painter. Although I didn’t get to see much of her work until after she died, she had at one point, worked as a portrait painter and later as an illustrator producing work that was uncannily similar to my own early work at school.
How old were you when you began drawing and painting?
It started as early as I can remember! I have very early memories of creating little scenes and stories to go with them. Later, when I could hold scissors, I would cut them out so that I could animate them for my parents and then at primary school, I can remember how nice it was to entertain the other kids with those stories!
We all start somewhere. What ‘jobs’ did you have before becoming a professional artist? Worst job ever?
I worked throughout college at various jobs, waitressing and bar work, anything to pay my way through my degree. After I graduated, the world of illustration fundamentally changed as computers and computer-generated images took over the industry. I had realized during my degree that I did not really want to be an illustrator. I had begun painting portraits and figurative paintings in my second year and spent more and more time in the life drawing room so my work was changing at that time anyway. While focusing on producing a new body of work, I also retrained myself to make the most of evolving the digital revolution, and started to work as a digital animator and took on freelance design work to fund my painting until about 2003/2004 when I had enough commissions coming in and was selling enough work to be able to paint full time.
My worst job ever, and I have had a few, was probably the time at college that the only job I could find was working in a burger bar despite having been vegetarian for eight years. That was tough!
