I have always been interested in art and excelled at school. Unfortunately was often the way my father saw no future in it, and told me "you need a proper career". So off I went to catering college.
Although I studied catering Art was never far away in my work through presentation and flamboyance I was able to express myself. For many years I worked professionally as a cake decorator. I owned my own business, and taught sugarcraft at college level. I enjoyed demonstrating here and abroad as it brought together my love of art, catering skills and teaching.
I wanted to perfect my skill in watercolours and started painting seriously, going semi-professional in 1998. Since then I have developed my style. Using watercolour & ink I try to paint nature, bringing a scene of life, movement, fun & enjoyment to each piece.
I am pleased you like my pictures and I hope you will find them as enjoyable as I have painting them.
