artist statement

I focus on painting in watercolour and portraits in  pastel. My present interests are agriculture and gardening, especially the growing of food, herbs, and flowers. I enjoy illustrating recipes and painting watercolour 'portraits' of houses and gardens, as well as Botanical Illustration.

The order and beauty of Nature as manifest in plants is now my chief  area of  interest. I also enjoy passing on what I know to others, and teach watercolour classes to beginners.
