My mum was my earliest artistic inspiration. She was taught in the sixties at Corsham College by Howard Hodgkin, and Rosemary and Cliff ord Ellis. When I was growing up, our house was full of paintings and antiques, and we often spent weekends going to antique fairs or flea markets. This is where I get my love of collecting from. I have one sister and one brother, and we are all artists in our own way. My sister is an illustrator, and my brother is a furniture designer.
My early years were spent in Gloucestershire until the age of seven. Around the age of eight, I started drawing the family cats (there were nine!). I used to carry a sketchbook with me at all times and drew the things around me. Art is the only thing I ever wanted to do, apart from when I was six when I wanted to be a nurse; I am still interested in all things medical.
