Introduction Up until a few months ago I was living and working in Devizes in Wiltshire very close to Stonehenge. My husband's job has taken us back to Norfolk. Wiltshire is a special place to me, not least because I set up Red Flag Studio with the talented and very lovely Juliet Abbott. As as artist, Red Flag Studio was where I worked producing illustrations, paintings and drawings and selling them from our gallery at the studio. I also taught children's clubs in term time and in the holidays. I also enjoy teaching adults basic drawing and painting techniques. Returning to Norfolk is a huge change for me and I'm just working out my way. (One reason why I have started this blog) I love walking at the coast and collecting the treasures that the sea has brought ashore. I love books and reading. Children's book illustrations are of particular interest to me. I also love wildlife and nature, watching and taking photos of what I see in the countryside. I'm also interested in crafts of all sorts although I am painfully inexperienced in these fields, and would love to try some out.
Interests Art, illustration, books, nature, wildlife, my family, my dogs, people, culture, spirituality, walking, running, cooking, baking, living, music, interiors, gardens and beautiful things.
Favorite Books The Time Traveller's Wife, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, The Tenderness of Wolves, My Family and Other Animals, The Night Circus, The Girl with a Pearl Earring, Remarkable Creatures
