I began my Middleton Grange schooling as a form 1 student in 1988. I was blessed to start my time at the school with Elizabeth Macfarlane as my teacher and was inspired by the art music and creativity she imparted to her classes. I had always drawn pictures and written little books as a primary student but was able to develop and thrive in the Middleton Grange art environment. Since then I used my skills for personal gifts but pursued nursing as a career and currently practice as a pediatric oncology nurse. I have picked up my paint brush again in the last 5 years and now have a niche business where I create unique photorealistic portrait artworks from clear photos always interesting never boring. People who approach me want something memorable for the future.
