I am an author I studied for an MA in art and a BA graduated in both, and then went on to study psychology. I have done various psychotherapy courses and classes. I am now more into doing the thing I love most painting. I am from Cyprus my family were refugees in Cyprus. I have lived in England for over sixty years. I did a lot of work in catering.

I have done a lot of collages and made stuff from found objects. I work mainly on canvas and paper. I am proud of my work I do a lot of it. I have over a thousand pieces. I am almost sad to say at the end of my artistic output because the art is there and there are too many of them. I have now gone into oils to further refine the artwork because found that otherwise they decay and are not as bright if I do not. I am always experimenting I have now gone into beads and stringing these up. I am immersed in what I do because I am autistic.
