About me

I’ve always been interested in art and have experimented with different forms over the years.

In the 1960s I studied at the Rhodesian School of Art in what is now Zimbabwe. I also pursued an interest in ceramics and became a full-time potter while living in Cape Town, South Africa, in the 70s. I taught ceramics in a studio attached to my house. My work was featured in a number of juried exhibits by the Cape Town Potters Association.

When I came to the US with my family in the 80s, I decided that I really wanted to paint with watercolors. I love the luminosity of the medium.

I love the outdoors and painting objects within nature – especially trees. Often I may combine bits from different subjects to achieve my goal.

I live in beautiful Marin County, California, with is rolling hills – wheaten color in summer and green in winter. I love the contrast of the green trees against the dry hills in summer. It’s a beautiful place to live and paint.
