I learnt to paint whilst living in the Far East in the 1960's and it was there that my passion for painting began. I attended the art department in Hong Kong University under an American resident tutor who taught me oil painting for two years. The subjects were mainly landscape, still-life and portraiture as well as seascapes. I also studied Chinese painting with Professor Lau Ta Po for over a year. I gradually started to paint in watercolours and enjoyed the opportunity of being able to paint in both mediums.

I am a member of The Society of Women Artists,  The Society of Floral Painters and a Member of The Royal Brimingham Society of Artists.  

I am a qualified Adult Education Teacher and organise workshops, painting days and demonstrations to art groups and societies throughout the country.

I also demonstrate at the Patchings art convention in Calverton, Nottingham for the four day festival each year. In 2006, I was a demonstrator at the Mall Galleries during the SWA Exhibition.
