My initial development as an artist owed much to the inspiring tutelage of the late Karen Simmons. Since then I am largely self-taught. After finishing a full-time job at St. Bede's School in Upper Dicker,founded with my husband in the 70's, I have been able to devote significant periods of time to developing my work.

I have exhibited over the years with The Eastbourne Group,at the Autumn Art Show in East Grinstead,with the Guild of Sussex Artists,at the Tisch Beere Gallery in Cardiff, the Alfriston Gallery and at numerous other local exhibitions. Last year I became part of the exciting new co-operative at Chalk Gallery in Lewes.

The large part of my work is in watercolour and my inspiration is taken from the wonderful colour combinations that I see around me both in the landscape, still life and flowers. Shapes lost and found in the washes and the interplay of light and colour are a constant source of amazement and pleasure.. I strive to portray in all my work an atmospheric quality and a feeling of light in and around the forms - a simple yet tantalizing aim.
