My love of art began in my childhood when I would spend hours drawing and painting. Mu claim to fame was when I not only earned a badge for some artwork but it was also displayed on the Blue Peter office notice board!
Life took over with work and family life, until recently I took up art classes and my the spark was rekindled! All the walls in my house soon filled and I began to do commissions for friends and acquaintances. It was then that I found Bicester Art Network. I have been privileged to exhibit with them and I hope to continue sharing my art work.
Please send me a message if you would like to commission a piece of art work. I can work in either oil, watercolour soft pastel or acrylic paint.
