How I became an Artist
I had been interested in art when I was at school but had not taken it up after I left. I really only started when I went to an oil painting class, it felt right, as though I had been doing it all my life. But the more painting I did the more I needed to learn. So I gave up my business that I had been running for sixteen years while bringing up my family. I could then spend more time learning doing what I loved. After going into hibernation for eight years here I am.

What influences my Art and my Life?
Nature It is all around us, and painting has made everything look more profound. So many different colours, shades and shapes I have noticed more since gaining this new insight in painting.
Astronomy We have the largest portable telescope in the UK that was built by my husband and other members of the Liverpool Astronomical society. This is used at stargazing events held by the Liverpool Astronomical society were thousands of people, young and old have looked through it. John Dobson himself approved the telescope and has looked through it a number of times. The images from space are beautiful and full of energy.

Travels
Being more mature now, I have travelled to all sorts of wonderful places, and have met people who represent all sorts of religions. They all seem to care about the same thing. So I have condensed in a few words as possible where I am coming from. I will always be learning in my Art and I am now full time earning a living from my paintings. Please enjoy my Art!

Signature
Those of you that have bought my paintings may see the small signature of mine at the bottom of the painting. Next to it is a small frog. I like frogs. The frog is modelled on a brass candle frog that we got from La Palma when my husband was working on the Liverpool Telescope.
