Over the years my work has changed greatly, from small watercolour flowers and landscapes to my present style which leans towards the simplification of shapes. I now find myself on the borders between figurative and abstract art.

I love to experiment with many types of media using natural pigments, various stains, collage, acrylics, etc., but always with lots of water looking for those 'happy accidents'.

My latest work has been inspired by the tropical gardens we have visited on our travels. These paintings are watercolour pigment on canvas and have been an exciting development for me as it has enabled mne to work on a much larger scale.

After retiring, my husband, Keith, and I moved from England to live in France and spent our first few years renovating an old water mill. When most of that work had been completed and I was searching for a new hobby, I took up water colour painting. This led to my taking a number of courses and classes locally. Painting has now become a major part of my life and gives me a tremendous amount of satifaction. Much of my inspiration comes from the beauty of the countryside surrounding our home in the foothills of the French Pyrenees, and also from as our travels particularly in Africa and India.

I have had a number of successful exhibitions on my own locally in France and also in Spain and I have participated many times in local exhibitions and events on a group basis.
