My journey into painting started at the very end of the last century when my husband, a soldier, was posted to America and it was impractical to take our horses on this posting. The American army base had a crafts centre and I took a course in picture framing.
Our next posting took us to Brussels and while inquiring about improving my picture framing, I was introduced to a German artist who also gave art classes. Over the next four/ five years, while we were in Brussels and later in Germany I was able to participate in her classes and workshops in Brussels.
Working with watercolours and oils I was drawn to capturing country and seascapes.
Since we moved to Redlynch in 2009 I have continued to work on my landscapes and after meeting Fiona Forbes who introduced me to acrylics and also inspired by visiting artists demonstrations at the Wallop Artists, I have broadened the mediums I paint in and I now paint mostly in acrylics.
My subjects are mostly landscapes, seascapes, flowers and townscapes.
