Born in Auckland 1946, attended Auckland Girls' Grammar 1960-1963.

Preliminary Diploma in Fine arts.

Married in 1968, the next 15 years were spent mainly overseas, with a home at Karekare Beach being our Auckland Base. Living in Australia, England, Western Samoa and Sarawak stimulated and influenced my art over that period - and provided a good balance to raising two sons!

From 1983, we lived in the Bay of Ilands for 10 years selling my art from my own gallery, and many commissions going to overseas collections.

Now living in Auckland again, painting flowers, fish and New Zealand scenes in mixed media vibrant colours is still my passion.
