I have always loved art and over the years have attended several courses and had tuition from a range of teachers starting out in Zimbabwe over 40 years ago. But it wasn't until my husband bought me a box of pastels for a birthday several years ago and we sold a business we ran that I really began to explore. Starting with doing large pictures of fruit, which I love, in pastel I then started to experiment with oils and then acrylics and more recently cold wax mixed media. I love the landscape and enjoy walking in it and often take a sketch book along.  From starting out doing representational work I now love to delve into more abstracted art.
