Biography

To my mind, art is best described as a journey whose end is never reached. For me, that journey started at the age of 15, when my art teacher said she was surprised I had not chosen art as one of my “O” level subjects. I was completely taken aback - I had no idea she thought I would be good enough to study art further. The resulting feeling of “unfinished business” never went away so, when I took early retirement (about forty years later!) I decided to be “a challenge for an art tutor”.
