I am a chartered company secretary by profession. I started serious
painting in 1987 but I have always been interested in art. My husband was
shot dead in 1988 and I decided to continue painting as it gave me inner
peace and was very theraputic.
I am only able to paint on weekends as I work full time for a pharmaceutical
company. My paintings are very detailed and they take a long time
to complete as I like to capture the intricacy of all the details. I love
painting elephants as they are such fascinating creatures to watch in their
natural habitat (such as the Maasai Mara In Kenya). Their numbers have
declined in Kenya due to poaching and that gives me even more inspiration
to paint them.
