I lived for a while near the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, but have recently returned to my home country England. I enjoyed taking photographs of the many birds visiting my garden and also the beautiful wildlife and scenery in the Great Smoky Mountains and now I’m doing the same in Derbyshire. I print the photos to create birthday cards, but would also like to paint some eventually. I like to doodle, but it would be nice to have more confidence to paint nature, without being so critical of my work. I haven’t really painted much for years and am looking forward to learning watercolour techniques. I did another one of the Domestika courses with Sarah Stokes which I very much enjoyed.
