An established artist who has exhibited widely across Europe and the Americas and has received several notable accolades — including a Bronze Medal at the 1994 Salon de Paris — and went on to exhibit at two further Salons. She has undertaken residencies with the English National Ballet and with the Uptown Waterloo (Canada) Jazz Festival, opportunities that allowed her to further develop and give full vent to her talent for drawing the human figure.

She has completed a large number of portraits commissions from performers, corporate directors, respected community figures, children, and pets — executed in a range of media from delicate pencil studies to richly layered oils. Some samples are included on this site.

Podi is available to give groups demonstrations of her skills in ‘people painting’, landscapes and en plein air painting.
