(www.palette.2y.net) “As long as I can remember I’ve liked to paint and draw- especially anything to do with nature and animals. I use different mediums – watercolour, acrylics and oils, depending on my feelings or moods, and the effect I want to get. Painting gives me joy that I share with others.It is a big part of my life and I’m lucky that I can link my work and my hobby together. I’m happy that I can include my knowledge and experience in teaching Fine Arts and being an artist as well. I enjoy seeing progress in my student’s artwork. It inspires me to create more paintings myself and move forward.”
