I live in Kenilworth and paint in my new studio in the garden. I was not art-trained and, in fact, did not start painting until I retired, when I joined a local art class and literally started from the beginning!

I am inspired by photographs of places, people and life and I have discovered that I most enjoy painting in acrylic with my palette knife. I find that this gives a slightly broken effect to the strokes, which I find difficult to achieve with brushes. However, I also paint in watercolour and often take this medium on holiday as I can pack everything I need into one bag!

I attend an art group at Warwickshire College where I am constantly inspired by the wonderful work and people I have met there.

Come and take a look at my work and my studio where I have greetings cards, paintings and prints for you to enjoy – everyone very welcome.
