“Waterfall (7”x 3”) Oil on board

Having always had a love for art, I continue making it an important part of my life. I enjoy working with my hands and being creative in a number of different mediums and processes: painting, printmaking, photography, textiles, stained glass and flower arranging.

My career as a gallery owner and art dealer, representing 20th and 21st century Fine Art and sculpture has exposed me to a wide range of artistic inspiration.

I moved to Arden in 1993, where I have a small studio cottage in which my husband and I create our art. After retiring from the gallery, I can spend more time on my own work.

The process of creating is what I love most; making my vision into a work of art. light, flowers, nature and landscape are themes I am repeatedly attracted to.

In Arden, I have been involved in the Arden Craft Shop Museum and Archives Committee, The Arden Georgists, the Arden Fair Art Show, Arden’s Centennial Pageant, restoration of an early Arden Cottage, and working on our house and gardens.
