"I worked in Thailand for four consecutive winters at the Bangkok Patana International School as artist-in-residence. I joined pupils on school trips teaching drawing and painting in the jungle, on waterfalls and riding elephants with them. On our return to school we worked on paintings for an end of term exhibition. Each of the four years I spent there I held an exhibition of my own work at the school based on my travels, selling everything!
At Deansbrook School in North London I have worked with the children in class on various projects. The infant and junior schools have both commissioned me to decorate their walls. In the infants' playground walls I painted a country scene with life-sized children looking out over the scene. The Junior School has many interior murals that I worked on with the children. The medical room, dining hall, the foyer and corridors have all been covered with bright coloured pictures. I also demonstrate and talk to children about my work and travels."

"In 1994 The Finchley Society commissioned me to paint a panel for the Octavia Hill Birthplace Museum in Wisbech. The painting depicts scenes from the early days of the childhood of Octavia when she lived in Finchley before becoming one of the founders of The National Trust .

Early in 2009 The Finchley Memorial Hospital in North London asked me to produce a watercolour of the building. It is planned to be demolished just after having celebrated its 100th anniversary and the painting will hang in the new hospital."
