Seems I have missed the funeral of my old friend and confidante photographer and local artist -we were in touch most weeks if not days at times via text message for the longest time and she struggled greatly with her health post a devastating car crash leaving her largely housebound but we conversed about many things, dance, photography Lorca and poetry in which for my own part she was a massive support and kind voice
Mentor and friend Paddy Summerfield believed her to be one of the truly great unsung artist photographers of the U.K.

My thoughts and condolences go out to all who knew her; family and friends and with special mention to Paddy Summerfield’s grandchildren Elliot, Grace and Katy of whom she was especially fond
