ARTIST'S BIO
 
I was born and raised in the northeast of England.  I moved to Canada at age 20 where I spent many years in the wide open spaces of  the Canadian prairies,  juggling a career, raising children and painting.  I was largely self-taught until moving to the beautiful city of Victoria, BC, where I received more formal training and can now concentrate fully on my art. I feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.  I've now been painting for nearly 40 years.
   
Shown here are samples of  my work. Most of it is in watercolours, unless otherwise noted. There is a wide variety of subjects - pet portraits, landscapes, seascapes, flowers, etc.  The paintings are of varying sizes and prices. ART CARDS of your favourite images are available. PRINTS of most pieces are available and are a very  enjoyable alternative.  Please enjoy browsing the galleries, and if you are interested in any of the paintings, or would like to see or know more, I can be contacted at lil500@telus.net  for further details. WE SHIP
