As a teacher I became an all round artist using lots of different media and materials. I enjoy painting and sculpture but my passion now is for printmaking and mixed media. I work in lino, collographs, monoprints, etching and Silkscreen printing including photo silkscreen.
I am inspired by patterns and shapes in the environment which has led to layering of different textures and surfaces in print and collage.
My other passion- click here to see my gallery Shoes!
nine years ago we moved from Harrow in London to Kent. And now North Devon It was a big change in many ways but a real opportunity for me to take stock and consider a change of life style. We bought a beautiful house in the open countryside in complete contrast to London. We have now downsized and are having another change of lifestyle!!
Having taught Art for over thirty years I built my new studio and set to work.
