About

I am an abstract landscape artist and have lived and worked in Gower, Swansea, Milford Haven, and St. Ishmaels, finally settling in St. David’s, Pembrokeshire, for over 20 years. My work is based on the landscape of Wales. I now spend my time between Wales and Liverpool.

In addition, I have worked as a professional actress for over 30 years, interspersed with painting and teaching, working in Wales and the Northwest.
