Sometimes I like to create the same subject in different mediums and/or styles. Here are two paintings from 2004, one using acrylic paints on canvas and the other using soft pastels.

Born in England I spent the greater part of my life there before emigrating to New Zealand with my husband in 1999, taking early retirement from a career in nursing. Once we settled I was able to re-acquaint myself with painting and, more recently, try my hand at writing.
