She grew up in Sandwich, but married a Tamworth boy and moved across the town line. She’s been oil painting for a mere 16 months and loving it; her chicken painting was a hot item at last summer’s ACT Art Show, and may one day be known as representational of the early days of the Chicken Art Movement in Tamworth. She is the proud parent not only of two children, but also of ten gorgeous hens: Butter, Sasha, Queenie, Hawk, Betty, Little Red, Nut Brown, Orlanda, Tom and Biddy.
