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 London College of Furniture (LCF) 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 .
My love of working with watercolour continues to grow and I am an avid experimentalist. I incorporate ink and textural effects, although new and exciting watercolour products are so vibrant and dynamic now that the urge to use them is so exciting too. My inspiration is mainly taken from ‘Nature’ and ‘The world around us’ and periodically. Semi-Abstract painting seem to materialise sometimes which is great fun. I know as soon as I see an image that ‘Art is calling’.
I regard myself as an eclectic artist and this allows me to have an open mind towards my next piece of Artwork. My portfolio includes original Artwork, limited edition Giclée prints, Cards, Bookmarks, Mugs, Coasters, Placemats, Fridge Magnets and Metal Tins, all embracing a ‘select’ collection of my images. I hope to add Bags to that selection at my first 2025 exhibition.
