Painting the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light on every petal.

I am a receptionist by day and an artist by night.

I love flowers. I paint their voluptuous folds of petals, their rich muted colours and the razzle dazzle and shimmer of light dancing across their surface.
Trying to capture the ecstasy of emotion in a single flower, and share it with others, is my driving force.

I was a professional potter for 35 years. I got serious about painting 10 years ago.

Flowers are my topics of choice.
Oil paint and canvas my medium.
My favourite thing – painting time with my music turned up, and my mind turned down.
My favourite painting – always the last one I completed.
My favourite quote – If not now, when?
