I grew up in England and traveled as a child, one of five sisters. As one of five clamoring children of an overburdened mother, I often found myself knocking around and getting lost in museums where I personally "met" many of the famously inspiring paintings of the European masters face to face. Those masterworks pop into my process like an echo as I move through a painting. My early formal art training was at Chelsea School of Art in London, later I attended University College at University of London in Art History and Humanities. It seemed a more marketable direction to my parents, but I freely admit that I spent most of the time sneaking back into the Studio Art classes.
In my early years, I was focused on the external appearance of my subjects but as I've grown, I've become more concerned with the object's internal nature. Now everything I paint becomes a vehicle that I use to express emotion or thought.
