| Introduction | I share my life with two blondes - my husband and my Golden Retriever Dog. We live in a small market town in the Yorkshire Dales. Over the coming weeks/months/years I will show you my paintings, illustrations, sculptures, prints as well as lots of "crafty" items that I have also produced. Sometimes I might ask for help and comments on my poems or short stories which I am writing and illustrating. The portrait profile is taken from an illustration I painted of Red Riding Hood. |
