About the Artist
Born Hampstead, North London 1947
Art has always been a very important part of my life. In my early years I would rather be caught drawing under the desk top than tackle the subject we were focusing on! At the age of 15 I was chosen, as one of only three students at the girls school I was attending, to take up a Foundation scholarship at the then prestigious Hornsey Art College in North London. I maintained my love of the subject attending many courses and classes over the years and was finally able to realise my ambition of gaining a Fine Art Degree, which I successfully completed in 2005.
This intense period of study and exploration enabled me to find new expressions for my art and launched me into a new phase of my life, one that was long overdue but has proved to be very exciting. I now devote most of my spare time to art; either painting, or running workshops and classes for others who, like me, wish to indulge their love of the subject.
Inspiration is drawn from many sources. My interest in the natural world, in particular plants and landscape, has always been a great influence on my work and provides an inexhaustible source for the future.
There is always time, however, for a more lighthearted approach and within this website you will find a variety of subjects that covers all creative possibilities!
