An Artist, a Professional Classical Singer (mezzo soprano),
a mother of two grown up children, (see Charles in My Friends space), a grandmother, the wife of a clergyman, and proud Matriachal Aunt to lots of talented young nephews and nieces.
A severe bout of glandular fever in 1996 gave me a window of time and space in which to develop my artistic inheritance. Solo and group exhibitions followed, with paintings in collections in France, Spain, New Zealand, Australia, America, and Great Britain.

A course in Botanical Design at 'The Chelsea Physic Garden' lead to a period of work with Karen Beauchamp, the inspiring Head Designer at 'Cole and Son' (Wallpapers).
I teach singing, perform, paint, am putting together a design portfolio, and sometimes I
look after my little grandchildren!
I came from New Zealand to England in 1981 and live in Oxfordshire.

Who I'd like to meet: Who I'd like to meet
Would love to meet all my ex-singing pupils, and find out what they are doing with their lives, so pass the word around! Would also love to see all those nephews and nieces who are growing up on the other side of the world.
FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS MY FRIENDS WILL BE RANDOMISED.
Haha! Marion, your comments always delight. I did touch up a few things on the drawing, those small works are so trying in the details, but I'm doing quite well with them so will continue for now.
The art can bringing (carry off) the our gladness. Can cure or sicken. Express the soul human in the presence of your challenges and limits. Transmit love, sadness, serenity, loneliness, fear, courage, pain, hopefulness, peace… The art enchants me as enchants me exist. Thank you very much for your friendship and for your lovely comment, Marion. Loved your art!!!! Congratulations and Successes. Have a great week. Hugs from Brazil.
I would love to get that shot of the humming bird for you. I'm working on it but haven't had any luck yet. I've got time and determination on my side though! :D
