Born in Sheffield in 1948 my first love was singing but followed closely by "art". Art to me meant anything creative and when I went to Maidstone College of Art in 1969, it was a very experimental time! I did photography, film,"events", painting and installations.
I then trained as a dramatherapist and my path went along the line of healing, voice and performance for several years although I still loved to dabble in paint at various workshops!
Then I cam across the work of Aviva Gold, whose method of "painting from the inner' really released something in me...maybe because i helped to put aside the inner critic and allow me just to express whatever needed to be expressed. I just revel in the texture, colour and feel of the paint till slowly an image starts to come through. I then photograph and make prints of the paintings as the originals are
all done on paper which isn't very durable!
