Biography:

I am a self-taught watercolourist although my earlier training as a Furniture Designer and Maker, has influenced me greatly. I was always drawing as a child and on leaving school, with ‘A’ Level Art under my belt, Training at the LCF in London and qualifying in the 70’s. Later, after my 2 daughters had left for university, I qualified to teach Design & Technology within Buckinghamshire. Then, In 2002, my late husband and I took early retirement to sail and enjoy watercolour painting around the Mediterranean for 15 years. All these influences in my earlier life have given me a wealth of creative knowledge and experience within my Artwork . Also, in the Spring of 2022 I was, very proudly, selected as a member of the Bucks Art Society.
My love of working with watercolour has grown greatly over the past year, and where appropriate, I incorporate ink and textural effects, although new and exciting watercolour products are so vibrant and dynamic these days that the urge to incorporate them is so exciting too. My inspiration is mainly taken from ‘Nature’ and ‘The world around us’ and periodically I dabble in Semi-Abstract Art. I know as soon as I see an image that ‘Art is calling’.

I also produce limited edition Giclée prints, cards, mugs and coasters of my Artwork, along with individually designed and produced bookmarks.
