My Background
My life has always revolved around Art and Design. I grew up in Thorpe Bay, Essex and was educated in England. Later I attended an Art Foundation Course at Southend-on-Sea School of Art then went on to gain my B.A. in 3- Dimensional Design specializing in Interior Design in Leeds, Yorkshire which was followed up by an Art Teacher’s Certificate.
Upon marrying my American husband I moved to the U.S. to New Hartford New York and began a career in Commercial Interior Design and Space Planning which spanned over 3 decades and included banks, offices, hospitals, restaurants and the revival of an area landmark the Hotel Utica. However, my most cherished design was The Red Lion British Pub and Restaurant which my husband and I owned and operated.
I have recently returned to my first love - Art here in the historic town of New Bern, NC.
My Medium
I create in many different mediums including acrylics, water colors, pen and ink. I also enjoy photography and jewelry making and am always looking for new creative challenges.
My Inspiration
Art is in the Details. I love to focus in on the beauty around me and often work from my photos focusing on the intricacy of natures details.
