I live in Wiltshire in the UK. I am a 55 year old grandmother of 6 which means my life can be very hectic. I spend my spare time doing whitewater kayaking which I started to learn when I was 51! I'm also the membership secretary for the local canoe and kayak club which I attend.

I'm new to pastels and haven't had any formal training in art. Having said that, I have tried watercolour paints, drawing and I like to do pyrography.
