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.
