Clients included, Country Living Magazine, Tesco and Sainsbury, Marshall Cavendish, Ward Lock and Times Books.
She now works from home where she has spent recent years developing her style and exploring further the technical aspects of watercolour painting; combining her painting with her work as a part time tutor in Adult education and tutoring for Art Groups.
