It was through answering an advert that I first met Pat Senior and started helping with the dog rescue. At that time I was suffering from serious depression having lost my son through suicide and finding out that my daughter had been sexually abused by a family member. It was touch and go as to whether I would pull through. This is when Pat stepped in and, thrusting a brush in my hand, said Paint! My paintings have been shown, and sold, in Bolton art gallery. I have also had a commission to paint a large canvas, which was both challenging yet rewarding. I have been an active member of a number of art societies exhibiting my work. Having worked in a number of media over the years, digital art is the most interesting.
