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.
