       Painting
      started as a hobby in 
      
      California
      
      . After
      taking Decorative Art classes, I discovered a watercolour with Trevor
      Bennett. We painted in her studio and in desert locations. I returned to 
      
      England
      
       and found
      watercolour the ideal medium with small children around. During six years
      in 
      
      Germany
      
      , I had
      two one-man shows and some commissions. We moved to Washington DC and with
      the children at school I had time for classes, initially in Oriental Art
      and then with one of Washington’s new and exciting watercolorists, David
      Daniels, who also taught at the Smithsonian. 
      My excitement with colour and nature evolved. We returned to the 
      
      UK
      
       in 1996.
      I have since exhibited with The Royal Institute of Watercolours, The
      Wildlife Art Society and as a finalist in PAWS for four years (winning
      overall in 2001). I am an elected member of the Society of Women Artists
      and the Armed Forces Art Society, which exhibits at the Mall Galleries, I
      was selected to hang at the Laing Exhibition. 
       
       
      I
      paint with a group at 
      West
      Wycombe
      , who have
      a very successful annual show.  I
      am currently teaching watercolour classes with Buckinghamshire Adult
      Learning and workshops at the 
      
      Queens
       
      Park
      
       Centre.
