My lifelong journey in art has followed my travels around the UK and the world. I see many influences from places and people but most of all in my present environment in Devon.

My landscape inspired paintings and prints aim to express wildness and movement, colour and vibrancy. There are glimpses of features giving scale and contrast though increasingly I’m omitting these and heading towards a more abstract response.

I studied in Leeds and after teaching moved to Birmingham where I and gained an M.A. at Birmingham school of art

I was senior lecturer there for 6 years before moving to Devon where I’ve lived for the last 28 years, formerly in Totnes and at present in Exeter, a founder member of the CROW (Creative Older Women Artists) as well as the 21 Group of artists, formed in 1967, the 21 Group of Artists is now one of the longest established groups of exhibiting professional artists in the South West. The group invites its members to produce high quality work that recognises the intelligence of the hand and the embodied wisdom born out of physical making (such as painting, drawing, printmaking) as a means to establish a robust, experiential, and authentic art practice.

The group seeks to evolve and disseminate this counter culture through exhibition and discussion. In order to foster this, and to preserve the opportunity for creative dialogue between its members, it still limits its membership to a maximum of 21 artists. The group aims to mount two or three exhibitions a year, usually held within the South West region.
