I count myself so lucky that I have found what I truly love to do with my life . . . animals have always featured strongly in my life; we've had dogs and cats since my earliest memories. My three rescue dogs, Buddy, Max and LucyLou and two cats, Mr Frodo and Jinxie are a source of inspiration and endless practice opportunities from day to day.

Once a college lecturer, I am now working as a portrait artist and also a home tutor. I live in Hampshire with my animals, of course, but also with my husband and two children!
