About
About the Artist:
I was born in Kenya in 1964 but spent most of my childhood in Zimbabwe, later moving to England with my family. After a Foundation Course in Art and Design I went on to gain a BA (Hons) in Illustration, and followed this with an enjoyable eight years in London as a book illustrator. Looking for more variety I then went to Tanzania for twenty-six fulfilling years, painting Tanzania’s stunning landscapes, people and wildlife.
In 2021 I moved with my husband and children to Sark in the English Channel Islands. This has brought me exciting new challenges that I am thoroughly enjoying through efforts to capture the emotions, tones and colours of my new surroundings. These blend an unspoilt rural landscape with a wild, windy and rugged coastline.
