Daphne Devey

Daphne studied Art and Art History at School but her love for Archaeology and the ancient past became her passion and she went on to receive her B. A. in Archaeology and Middle Eastern Culture, although inbetween she has taken many art workshops.

She and her Mum took several art classes together, which she loved, including life drawing.

As watercolour and pen and ink were her favourite mediums initially she took a course in Watercolour painting at the Ruth Prowse Art School and later her love for painting in oil on canvas grew and is now her preferred medium.

Her love for flowers, birds and nature have become her favourite subjects and she finds she is always learning something new! 

She was fortunate to be able to attend a workshop in Venice in 2015 led by artist, Ryno Swart, and also in Nieu Bethesda in October, 2020 led by artist, Cathy Milner, learning new techniques in various mediums which she loved.
