She has been busy writing and painting.
She says,
“I very much like the challenge of capturing an essence with
minimal spontaneous lines. Colour often reinforces the
ideas. My work is inspired by the people, fashion, animal and
bird life around me. Sometimes they are iconic.”
“I very much enjoy mixing myth, dream or imagination, with
modern
day facts and fashion, to give the images a poetic feel.”
I particularly enjoy painting portraits.
