Pip Balfe

I’m a girl of the 60s the only thing my mother insisted on was that I had a trade I left my hometown to go to London and become a window dresser on Bond Street and Oxford street which was a fabulous experience
I married had two fabulous kids and divorced
I then used my display training to work as a stylist/interior designer for many years specialising in showhomes and dressing exhibition stands with having my display training I was an asset to site work as i could turn my hand to many skills e.g
Flower arranging Christmas decorations ( I had a number of private clients who booked me every year for the decs
About 4 years ago I started to paint my first painting I submitted to the ROYAL ACADAMY SUMMER EXHIBITION and amazingly got the the final selection was I have all the letters staining to this

Ayresome sec mod (as in ayresome park Middlesbrough football ground)Middlesbrough Yorkshire England

I’m afraid that it I left school at 14 wasn’t allowed to start work until 15; and have hardly stopped apart from having the kids
