She works from her studio at The Owls House, which, when she is not traveling, is open to the public, and so it is always wise to ring before a visit.

The paintings are done in the traditional way but now mainly working from photographs. My passion is twofold, creating great likenesses of course, but I also enjoy exploring the character and personality of my subject.

I have developed a style that strikes the right balance between creating a great work of art and getting the close likeness, that in the real world, most people want. As Samuel Johnson put it, 'I had rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world'. I also do sketches in pastel pencil and also graphite which are very popular.
