About the Artist

From an early age I enjoyed drawing and painting, but it wasn't until I retired that I found I was able to dedicate more time to improving, and enjoying my art work. In 2012 I joined an Art Group in Swindon and found like-minded people who enjoyed creating paintings. I now run two art groups one in Old Town and the other in Stratton St Margaret as Treasurer and Administrator.

I enjoy drawing and painting buildings, landscapes and animals in watercolour and acrylic. I have started working on portraiture starting with pencil and I intend to go onto using acrylic paints to further my work.

I regularly attend a part-time evening art course at Swindon New College in which I aim to improve my art work.

Being accepted into the Guild of Wiltshire Artists has given me opportunities to meet many great artists and to enjoy the workshops on offer.
