I am a visual artist with an illustrative style and have been painting for over 20 years.
I love using humour and colour in my work and creating scenes that make you smile and linger.
Recently I wrote and illustrated a children's book on mental health and taught it in schools.I like writing, especially rhyming words and my favourite author is Dr Seuss.
I have recently moved to Õhope Beach with my husband and am currently painting local scenes and landscapes.
When I'm not painting I am hosting visitors to our Bed and Breakfast accommodation, gardening and hanging out with my 5 year old Brittany spaniel.
