Artist Biography
Graduating with an honours degree from Loughborough College of Art in 1976 her background as head of one of the countries largest woven textile design studios as well as teaching, led to her involvement with both the British Crafts Council and The Royal Society of Arts.
She has developed a unique style of painting from her heritage of weaving and defines imagery by manipulating her pastels as if they were thread, watching an image emerge from the paper, weaving together the power of colour with the control of line to capture the essence of her subjects.
In 1998, she left the UK for South African where her work was hung at The Everard Reed Gallery in Cape Town as well as the Residence of the British High Commission. She became noted for her pastel paintings of African women who moved and inspired her.
