I am an experienced leisure painter. My art education, over many years,
has been through part time further education courses. I work in
many different media, including charcoal, pastel, silk,
watercolour, acrylic, and mixed media. I have recently started
using an IPod for art, using "doodle buddy", "pop art" and "photoshop
mobile". I am
currently Chairperson at Farsley and District Art Club, in West
Yorkshire. |

My husband, Chris, was diagnosed in 2009 with
motor neurone disease. His walking was affected as early as 2001
and it was thought that he had an arthritic condition of the
spine. However, other symptoms appeared and he now has a form of
MND. |
 |
|
I want to raise awareness of
Motor Neurone Disease, and also money for the Motor Neurone
Disease Association by doing The Great wall of China Trek in May
2011.

prizes will include a lot of my own work, in addition works by other artists. |

Dazzle
Prints 2008 (Limited Edition)
The Dazzle
work was based on the graphic paradox of a distinct
pattern creating an indistinct image. These painters of
WW1 'Dazzle' ships were attempting to confuse enemy
submarine captains as to the shape, speed and direction
of their vessel, with disruptive shapes. |

came to me later on in life! I have been painting for

This
watercolour of the Pudsey Cenotaph was given by Bill
Wells to The Rotary Club of Pudsey, of which Chris is a
Past President. The Club closed down in 2008 after over
55 years service, and past members thought it fitting
that the painting be donated this cause.
However when
the award winning artist heard about my project, he was
very happy to be involved and immediately offered more
paintings for the cause. |
