I was told I could draw by my teacher (Miss Treleven) when I was just
seven: she had entered my ‘Fairy Queen’ painting into a children’s
local art competition and I remember winning a big box of paints and
brushes; and, at age eleven, whilst on holiday in Italy I was asked to
paint a picture on canvas to replace a wooden wall painting of Madonna
and Child which had burned during street celebrations – I spent my six
weeks’ holiday, in my Aunty’s best room, painting.
As well as the NWAG, I am a member of the Marwell International
Wildlife Art Society (MIWAS), the Society of All Artists (SAA), the
Cambridge Natural History Society (CNHS), the Cambridge City Group of
the Wildlife Trust and the RSPB, Sandy. In 2007 and 2008 I exhibited,
and sold, at the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art (NEWA). In
February 2009 I was elected as an Associate member of the Society of
Botanical Artists. My first entry in the MIWAS 2008 10th Anniversary
Exhibition was sold. From mid-October 2009 my work will be displayed in
the The Darryl Nantais Gallery, 59 High Street, Linton, Cambridge, CB21
4HS.
