I am happily painting full time now after teaching art to children of all ages and adults for 26 plus years. My love of nature and people are my biggest inspirations and I mostly do acrylic and oils on canvas or board. I have attended numerous workshops over the years and also delivered workshops to others. I love impressionism, especially when intermixed with abstraction along with printmaking. Painting, drawing, mixed media and art making of all kinds has been my passion since I was very young. I will keep attending workshops as I find this very inspirational and enhances my art practice and helps develop my work . I have been not exhibited my work much due to full time work and now want to show my art work to a wider community.
