Thank you for your support of my work. After acquiring a visual impairment from a life-threatening illness, becoming an artist seemed unthinkable! Yet, it was through art that I was able to channel my emotions, hopes and dreams into a healing synthesis. Unable to work anymore in a traditional sense, I became a full-time artist to support my family. Now I see things differently... colour is one of my joys in life; I am grateful to have retained this priceless treasure. Through my work, it is my hope to uplift and inspire.

My work is often classed as "intuitive", born from the necessity to develop my other, higher senses. I am inspired by colour, the beauty of nature and also by that which cannot be seen... yet is sensed. Works depicting faith, beauty, reverence, innocence... rising above the trials of the physical world. Having children, I love to illustrate for them - creating books that capture their imagination and rekindle the childhood sense of wonder.

It would appear that art “is in the blood” - One little-known fact about me is that I am the Great+++ Granddaughter & Niece to famous Waterford artists: Thomas Sautelle Roberts & Thomas Roberts - sons of Waterford Architect John Roberts & his French wife Mary Susannah Sautelle (family origins from Tours)
