In Her Own Words
About her
Creative, curious and independent, I divide my time between painting, teaching and travelling in search of inspiring places, especially Mexico, which has been a passion of mine for many years. Friends would say I'm warm, adventurous and always planning the next exhibition, workshop or trip.
I love galleries, beautiful gardens, good conversation, long lunches, live music and discovering hidden corners of cities and countryside alike. Equally happy exploring a market, sketchbook in hand, or relaxing with a glass of wine and good company.
I'm looking for someone kind, intelligent and emotionally available, with a sense of humour and a curiosity about the world. Life is too interesting not to share it with someone special.
About her ideal match
Someone who is kind, emotionally available, intelligent and curious about the world. A good sense of humour is essential, along with confidence, warmth and integrity. I'd love to meet someone who enjoys travel, culture, the arts and discovering new places, but who is equally happy sharing quiet moments together.
Mutual respect, trust, honesty and open communication. I value independence, so it's important that we both have our own interests while genuinely enjoying spending time together. A relationship should add joy to life, not complicate it.
The activities I enjoy are travelling, visiting galleries and gardens, long walks, exploring markets and historic towns, cooking together, eating out, weekends away, theatre, concerts and simply laughing over a good meal or a glass of wine. I'd also love someone who enjoys the occasional spontaneous adventure.
Deal breaker is Dishonesty, emotional unavailability, controlling behaviour, a lack of kindness or respect, or someone who isn't prepared to invest time and effort in building a meaningful relationship. Life is too short for games or half-hearted connections.
