ARTIST INFO

About 

I am an eclectic artist using a variety of mediums and methods for personal expression, exhibition and commission. My personal work is often inspired by travel and sometimes created in collaboration with my husband, writer Robert Leach. I also work on community art projects, often using the medium of mosaic.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

I love to draw. These four pieces here are based on sketches made when travelling in India. I have then built them up in layers of oil colour from my memory and imagination.
