I am 79 years of age and only started hobby painting in the last 10 years. I belong to a group of acrylic painters in Ipswich and we have had several successful exhibitions in Ipswich and surrounding country towns. I also paint in water color, oil and soft pastels and have a studio at home in which I paint nearly every day.
As early in years as I can remember I have always been drawn to sketching and took lessons with various artists whilst I was still at school with Margaret Cilento being a highlight in portrait and anatomy teaching.
I married in my 20's and had two sons, with one son being artistic and the other not so much, but now have a granddaughter very interested in drawing and painting.
