I am a virtually self taught artist returning to art in later life following a teaching career. I paint predominately in watercolour but enjoy mark making in any medium. My subject matter is varied and often displays itself in the most unlikely places ,where ordinary objects become extraordinary in dramatic light. If a subject inspires me , there is an urgency to capture it on paper or canvas.

Having utilised art and music throughout my time in the classroom, I returned to creating for myself which quickly developed into a passion resulting in regular selections to the RI, SWA, SMA, Sunday times Watercolour,TALP exhibitions , picking up several awards .
