Art by Joan Sandford-Cook

I studied in Bournemouth learning natural history  and botanical work and the skills of watercolour, when a love of flower painting developed from the tutor Lorna Byron, culminating in membership of the Society of Floral Painters. Further knowledge accrued from courses in Bournemouth in Art and Design, abstract techniques and mixed media tutored by Abi Kramer.

I am currently living and working in Cromer Norfolk, member of the following active societies:

- North Norfolk Organisation of Visual Artists (NOVA)

- West Norfolk Artists Association (WNAA)

- Caper arts and Crafts community
