The weather, its effects on the land and sea, people, animals, journeys, and naturally occuring abstract shapes are constant themes and inspiration for my paintings, but like many people, I found it hard to keep up the momentum last year.  It has been important to draw daily, so from the start of this year I have chosen objects and subjects that surround me, creating a theme of 25 images per page. 

I am actively involved in the Cambridge District Art Circle and am a member of the Cambridge Drawing Society and the Society of East Anglian Watercolourists. I trained as an illustrator/ graphic designer at Maidstone College of Art then as an Art Teacher at Brighton College in the 1970s. I hope to return to teaching my adult students later this year.
