"After coming 'back to art' after having a family, my background in the veterinary profession and love of the natural world definitely inspires me. I have been lucky enough to illustrate several books and continue to work on a series of short stories told by my Grandfather. I like to work in watercolour and pen and wash.

My work ranges from illustrated capital letters to pet portraits to animal and botanical studies.

I help run Bathford Art Group and set our varied subject list for the term ahead."
