I paint in acrylics and my work is always inspired by rural life - meadows, flowers, birdlife, people in country settings. There is hardly a day goes by that I don’t paint or sketch.

I came to painting late in life and it gives me great joy to see my pieces find homes with other people, who love the same things that have inspired me.
