I am a 56 year old mum of 3 grown sons living in Chesterfield surrounded by the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District. My painting has always been something I wanted to do but with a busy family life and business it was put on the back burner. Now I am happily remarried and have the time to indulge my passion I paint every spare minute constantly looking and learning from other artists and the world around me. I have been extremely lucky during 2007 to have sold quite a few paintings through a local café in Chesterfield and have also had a few commissions. In May 2008 I look forward to having my first local exhibition.

My main love is dramatic semi abstract skies and seascapes but I also enjoy painting bold patterns, large single flowers and abstracts using metallic paint. I have enjoyed watercolour painting but now I am happier with canvases and aim to produce paintings that have impact or the ‘wow’ factor if possible!

I hope you like what you see – thank you for looking.
