I'm a woman of a certain age with a life long love of art , crafts, and anything that intrigues me, I have a large family of six which are now mostly all grown up, so now is my time to throw myself into my art. I had the normal tuition of art, then pretty much self taught , as each year goes by I have grown in experience and confidence in my work and I'm now at the stage of commission work, which is very exciting and fulfilling. I have recently become a widow, which seems to have spurned me on to spread my wings.
