From the age of 5 Glenda Rae has always had a burning desire to paint, testing the patience of her family by persuading them to sit still for hours while she sketched them. Now she is a well known, much published, wild life artist and illustrator, taking her subjects matter from the animal and bird life around her country home in Snitterfield nr Startford upon Avon. As a relief she will escape into the fantasy world of fairies and magical kingdoms which has proved very interesting to visitors.
