In my youth, I spent a great deal of time in one hospital or another, it was here that I learnt to amuse myself by making and drawing things. From this experience I developed a love for any form of creativity. 

 

When I left school I was a sign writer and once I had my son I worked at home colouring historical prints. I used Indian ink,  tiny paint brushes and a huge magnifying glass, so I could do minute details within the prints. I was and still am amazed at the craftsmanship of the old masters. 

 

I took my BA in Fine Art later in life and once I had finished my degree I found that my work was always charged with an emotional connection.  These days I am influenced by the beauty of our planet and often develop a series of works depicting how I view the world. Some serious some light hearted and colourful.
