About

I've had an itinerant life, being born in Kenya in 1964, I spent most of my childhood in Zimbabwe, then, being British, moved to England as a teenager, 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 successful book illustrator.

Looking for adventure I moved back to Africa, this time Tanzania, where I lived 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.
I've enjoyed exhibiting and selling my work in many locations worldwide, including the following:
Malcolm Innes Gallery, St. James's, London
Tryon Gallery, Cork St., London
Air Gallery, Mayfair, London
Natural History Museum, New York, USA
Grenning Gallery, Long Island, USA
Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Perth, Australia
East Africa Art Biennale, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Arusha, Tanzania (various galleries)
Nairobi, Kenya (various galleries)
The Channel Islands (Guernsey & Sark)
In 2021 I won the Fox Art award in Guernsey.
