At a young age I was always drawing and painting, my love of Art has stayed with me through my life.

 

I completed a correspondence course with the London Art College after leaving school and was awarded my diploma, and I remember how much I looked forward to going to my Art evening classes, which I attended regularly.

 

Six years ago I joined the Swindon Artists Forum, and the members have been an inspiration to me ever since, I have never looked back.

 

I feel that my Art has a therapeutic effect and has always helped me unwind; I can lose myself in it for hours not realising how much the time has flown by.

 

I have used oils and watercolour, but I like working in acrylic the most, and the subjects I choose are what ever inspires me.
