Biography

I am a mum of two wonderful and creative grown up children, and I am a carer for my daughter who is disabled and has mental health issues. I just discovered that I could draw about 18 months ago having never had an art lesson in my life. Previously the only time I picked up a pencil was to write in my diary. I began with animals and birds and have started to love portrait drawing. Realism fascinates me and I aim to get as close to it as I can. I love my new hobby :)
