Let's start at the beginning - My Childhood

I was born in France in 1973 the third of three girls, two years later I was to become the proud older sister to my younger brother.

My childhood was a very happy one filled with happy memories of freedom, exploring nature, searching for four leaf clover and horse riding!!! Those memories I'm sure are what influences my art today.

I thought you might like to look at these old photographs of my family.

Old photographs hold so many precious memories and are one of my favourite things to look at!
