About Me:  I am an English grandmother, living in beautiful Wales. I have been making greetings cards for family and friends since I was a teenager, whenever time allowed between teaching and raising my family. I also love painting in soft pastels, screenprinting, papier mache, quilting, knitting, taking photos and designing/painting scenery for amateur dramatics groups.

I am a mostly self-taught artist, although I learnt a lot from the Screenprinting, Art and Design and Life Classes at the Adult Education Centre in Norwich, where I lived in the '80s/'90s. Nowadays my back and my eyesight problems mean that most of my work is digital but I'm finding that fascinating! By the way, the cards that are featured are just samples of whole series so if you like a particular design but the text isn't what you need, you'll find plenty more with different text by searching my store.

For gifts featuring my designs, go to http://www.zazzle.co.uk/helikettle
