Art has interested me from an early age, more recently, watercolour painting. Inspiration is all around me, subject matter ranging from scenes abroad - Italy, recently Egypt, local landscapes, animals, Lake District and Scotland.

In Australia, I obtained a Diploma in Printed Textiles, my second interest, creating fabric/embroidery collages incorporating wools and beads.

"There is an element of excitement in applying colour to a fresh piece of paper or fabric and seeing a picture evolve."
