I was born in South Africa and studied art at the East London Technical College in South Africa. After graduating I painted Wildlife and South African Landscapes as well as private portrait commissions. I exhibit regularly in East London while also organising children’s painting classes.

In 1986 and 1987 I exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London with the Society of Woman Artists. I continue to exhibit with galleries in and around London, including North London at Burgh House in Hampstead, Jackson Lane community centre, Alexander Gallery in Muswell Hill. I am a member of the Hampstead Arts Council and regularly exhibit at the Royal Free Hospital Gallery.

I work mainly in oils on a large scale and the greatest influence on my work was the Art Deco period and the work of Tamara de Lempicka. Also I am becoming more interested in wildlife, probably due to my childhood in Africa. I find painting wildlife most satisfying and have sold several of my animal pictures in the last few months.
