ABOUT OPHELIA
I have had a career spanning nearly 40 years. During that time I have exhibited work in over 100 shows in Britain and overseas, painted several murals and produced two books.
I was born in 1965 in Cambridge. From 1983 to 1984 I attended the Art Foundation Course at CCAT, studying under the tutelage of the acclaimed illustrator, Warwick Hutton and the highly respected painter, Julia Ball. After further studies of Music and Education at Homerton College, I took up painting full-time.
