June then studied for two years at St Martin’s School of Art and then spent a few years as an actress on the West End.<\/p>\n
After marrying, June travelled a great deal with her husband and painted portraiture throughout. She has lived in the Far East and Australia.<\/p>\n
June has painted individuals from all walks of life and has an impressive list of notable sitters to her name. She says,\u00a0“There is a never ending fascination in the intrinsic differences and similarities of the shapes, body language, and individual visual story of each subject, plus the excitements of composition and all the technical necessities.”<\/p>\n
