About the artist:

"I have never cared to talk or write about my paintings, and have always studiously avoided it! But I have been asked to try – so I will just say that from the time when I first started to learn to paint I have always been most fascinated by ‘faces’. I still am, and so most of my work is of heads or figures in interiors. They are sometimes seen against a window through which can be glimpsed the Devon valley where I live, or they may be gazing into a mirror. Often I paint beautiful fabric, lace, embroidery, satin or brocade, and the cats and children I know pose for me, now my own children are grown.
The atmosphere and colour is rich and glowing, or it might be ‘cooler’, muted and tranquil, but I hope that despite being very small, my paintings have an intensity, stillness and hopefully beauty that belies their size."
