Welcome to my world of fine creatures

Ever since I can remember I, like so many other people, have been in love with animals.  As a child growing up in the English countryside my brothers and I made up endless stories about our pets and their odd little  adventures.  I remember many happy hours spent out in nature, sitting in the garden or wondering through Mr Barkers fields, and endless summer afternoons learning to paint with a small oil set and a motley assortment of brushes.

Now that I am  (mostly)  a real live grownup and thankfully have managed to marry a very fine fellow who puts up with a whole menagerie of  animals (including our children),   I have the wonderful opportunity to spend my days painting.  

 My heartfelt wish is that I can create art that will make people smile and remember the wonderful kinship we share with our animal friends.
