Although I have always been interested in art it was not until I retired that I joined a local art group in Barnt Green and found that I became immersed in art in it's many different forms. I enjoy going on art courses of all descriptions and find that they inspire me to try different techniques and mediums. My first true love was coloured pencils and although I enjoy other mediums I still gravitate towards the finer detail this allows.I have exhibited with the Stratford -upon- Avon Art Society, the NEC and other local exhibitions and enjoy meeting, talking and demonstrating to people.
