I was born in South Africa, grew up in Zimbabwe, moved to the UK and then back to the sunshine. After working in Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, I finally settled in Johannesburg, got married and had our son.

Most of my working life was in IT and after early retirement to look after our son, I was fortunate enough to have time to explore my creativity. This ranged from making cards, to decoupage, mosaic and photography. A friend asked me to join her art class and even though I couldn’t draw a stick man in those days I found my art.
