I was born in the UK and moved to New Zealand as a child. In the early 1970's I returned to live and work in the UK and this is where I developed my love of painting and drawing.  I sold a number of paintings whilst living in the UK as commissions whilst teaching in the Lake District which is a particularly inspiring part of the  world for artists. I  returned to New Zealand in 1983 and have continued to sell paintings on commission and also through exhibitions.  With family grown I have more time to paint and expand my market.
