The Having  Pre-School Children Years

2001-2015

​

I wasn't always an artist.

I was "good" at art at school, and enjoyed it.    My Aunty Cath was good at art, too- but never did anything with her talent.  I always vowed I'd never let my talent go to waste.  But then I studied Human Biology at Oxford Poly.  Then I did a PhD in Biochemistry  at the University of Bath.  I learned to paint, but was hardly "doing anyting with it"!  I worked as a scientist for a number of years, in the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Glasgow and Cambridge.  Then I had children.  And stopped painting.  

​

Turns out I'm much more confident as an artist than I ever was as a scientist!
