From an early age creativity has captured and interested me. In secondary school, Robert Juniper, my art teacher encouraged me to pursue expressing myself in this field. However, the challenge of nursing and mid-wifery, then creating a home, family and business took precedence. Life has been full, exotic at times, with exposure to much of the world and it’s different cultures. Now in later life, the learning and exciting journey continues with the luxury of exploring my latent creative side. From 2015 - 2020 I studied oil and acrylic painting, blissfully creating satisfying canvases mainly of large blooms and nature. Immersion in art and creativity, painterly expression, the joy, beauty and timelessness it brings to me is my offering, my gift to others, and my next great adventure.
