I live in Birmingham, UK, with my husband and my dog. I have been painting in my spare time over the years.

​​

 

I look around my surroundings in my home and garden , to see objects and areas to paint in vibrant acrylic paints. Noticing beauty in ordinary kitchen utensils and coffee pots and a vase of flowers on the table. It started when confined at home in 2020 lockdown and continues today although subjects more varied. I enjoy the boldness of acrylic paints and also the way they dry quickly which makes me focus intently when painting.

​

 

The Birds are a change from my still life at home paintings.  I chose to paint birds that are well known and recognisable with their own distinctive shape, colouring  and character.​​

I painted this image for Bournville Clarinet Choir of which I am a member. we perform great music and I enjoy playing a part! , the picture features a lot on programmes and posters for concerts
