Follow your bliss and find your passion!

For me these have always been colour and pattern, and travel and adventure~

I studied Fashion Design and have a Masters Degree from The Royal College of Art in London. After graduating I lived and worked in Italy and as a designer in Europe and Australia. When I returned to the U.K  I taught H.N.D. design and styling at the London College of Fashion.

Having been fortunate enough to travel to many distant places and visit many different cultures, I have encountered plenty of wonderful images and gained a myriad of memories all of which help feed my imagination.

I have hiked the Himalayas and watched the sun rise over Mount Everest, stomped the foothills of Kilamangaro and drank tea with the Massai, visited the Volcanoes of Hawaii and swam in the turquoise Indian Ocean. Marvelled at the Taj Mahal as the sun went down, gazed upon Mount Fuji with sweet jasmine in the air and swam with Giant sea turtles in the South Pacific.
 
Visiting these magnificent places and spending time within their different cultures has helped me to develop a deep personal spirituality and great passion for life .

Whilst visiting a Native American Indian Pueblo in New Mexico called Taos I started channelling a book of inspirational guidance, which we then self published and called ‘One From The Heart’.

I am fortunate to come from a long line of inspirational psychic women. My great grandmother was an Irish Romany Gypsy, my Grandmother was a gifted clairvoyant and my Mother is a wonderful fine artist and Palm reader! I now channel not only my writing but nearly all my paintings arrive fully formed in my head too, way before I approach my canvas to paint. These images sometimes stay in my mind as "works in progress" for months, even years, until I have gathered all the bits and pieces and details necessary to manifest them into an actual painting.
