I decided to start painting in 2001, after many years of designing and making clothes, and 12 years as an aromatherapist .

I had always longed to paint but was too busy bringing up children and gardening, doing pottery, designing and making clothes and jewellery. 

I chose to find my own way rather than go to classes, and began by painting flowers from our garden near London. Slowly I found a way to express  the essence, vitality and beauty of nature, attempting to bring a sense of harmony and joy,

sometimes painting brightly and colourfully, and other times in pale soft colours, using acrylic paint on canvas.

​

I have sold many paintings privately in England and abroad and have exhibited at-
