Images of work to follow...
I began drawing and painting as a very young child and have always had a desire to capture the essence of animals in their natural habitat.
After moving to rural West Wales I began teaching Chemistry but I never lost the need to be creative and continued to be inspired by the rugged coastal scenery.
I moved back to South London when my children were born and I set up a small business creating nursery art and painted furniture. I supplied shops in Wimbledon Village and St Johns Wood.
After moving to Bedfordshire in 2002 my artistic journey had to take a back seat to being a mother and having a busy teaching career.
In 2020 I decided to concentrate on my art and set up the company Kaelya & Co. I once again produced children’s name plates and cards, mainly in watercolour and graphite. More recently I have expanded my practice to acrylic and oils which has been a revelation to me.
My husband and I attend many local craft fairs at stately homes but the largest was a week at the NEC for Gardeners World Live.
