(Please note my email address  :- shalimar0@hotmail.com     )

My name is Leah Phryce-Jones, I was born in East Africa in 1947 and have had the pleasure of living in several countries throughout my professional capacity. I have followed a full and successful career, until retiring, when I took up painting. 

I am a self-taught painter, and enjoy the challenge of working with Acrylics as well as Watercolours.

I would like to thank my mentors, who have shown patience and have guided me to see, that inside each and every one of us, is an artist of some form or another.  Thank you, Sandra Albo - a wonderful painter, teacher and inspiration, Barb Hofer, to whom I thank the fact I have even tried watercolours, her gentle coaxing and encouragement were a tonic.

I am now teaching beginners and enjoying it ....

I have exhibited in several of the famous Okanagan Valley Wineries; Osoyoos Art Gallery; the B C Visitors' Centre; Handworks Gallery, Oliver B C;The Wine Centre, Oliver B C and now also at The Wool Shop in St Stephen, & Serendipin' Art Gallery, St-Andrews-by-the-Sea and this coming December 2008, in Fredericton N B.
