I enjoyed Art at school then it faded from my life. After bringing up a family and going through various hobbies like dressmaking, tailoring, upholstery and celebration cake making I joined Knockholt Art Club. I started attending Adie Parker’s Art Courses four years ago, concentrating on Watercolours and Acrylics. Membership of TAG is as recent as two years ago. I find it a stimulating and vibrant Art Club with Workshops in various media. I love Johannes Vermeer’s paintings which I discovered in Art Galleries in Holland when living there in the 1970s. I love his colours which are still vibrant despite being painted in the seventeenth century. My favourite present day local artist is Adie Parker whose imaginative lessons are teaching me much and “keeping me on my toes”: art-wise.
