Deirdre was able to develop her life-long interest in painting once family ties were less demanding.

She developed her work through local and holiday courses and is intrigued by the changing light ,colour and atmosphere through the seasons.

Her subjects include landscapes, coastal and garden scenes.
Although her main love is water colour she also uses acrylic ink and pastel.

She exhibits locally and at Lymington, Salisbury and Winchester and is a founder member of Take Ten Artists
