Living near the sea provides me with a wealth of inspiration. My art includes watercolour painting, oil painting, acrylic painting, mixed media work and drawing in graphite, conté and charcoal. I work in my studio and on location. I also enjoy drawing and painting people, who are endlessly fascinating. I am fascinated by the design created by shadow and light inside the natural world, whether people, objects or landscape. My studio art classes for children and teens opened in 1994 and continue to inspire me with the wonderful imagination and experimentation that children of any age have.
