Exhibitions
During my career as a designer and illustrator I began exploring painting and exhibiting my artwork.
For several years in the mid 70’s my paintings were successfully exhibited at Heal’s of Tottenham Court Road until the company was bought by Terence Conran and the store closed the gallery. During this time, I also exhibited at Liberty London, Regent Street.
For a short period, I was represented by The Stable Gallery, Wandsworth and had an agent in Kensington selling my work in the UK and the States. Following a move to the Northeast I mostly exhibited locally, devoting more time to teaching and bringing up my family.
After moving South, I exhibited regularly at ‘Florum’ in Kent and then in 1998 I began exhibiting my work with the Society of Botanical Artists at The Central Hall Westminster where I was elected to President in 2013.
