Location: Botswana

I have been fiddling around with brushes, pencils, paints, pastels, etc, for 30 years. I know it has been 30 years because that's how long I have lived in Botswana, Africa, and I started painting the landscape almost immediately. I am from England, and I just love creating art... I'm sure other artists will know what I mean when I say ' its addictive'.
