Hello and welcome, my name is Martine Elliott.
I'm a 50 something-year-old retired Cabin Crew Leader who used to work for the worlds favourite airline.
​
I retired from my flying career, after 23 years of service. I now live in Oxfordshire.
I am now a student with OCA University for the Creative Arts studying towards a BA (Hons) Painting degree. This is the most exciting journey I have ever taken.
I feel influenced and passionate about travel, culture, the organic natural world, especially flowers (I was a florist, for some years, before I took up flying).
I have been fortunate enough to see many sights worldwide and continue to evoke emotion and expression from my exhaustive memories and photographs.
'Ways of looking at the world' for example, aerial views from aircraft windows or 'looking up towards the sky/looking out and through' have all played a part in the Drawing Skills One and the Practice of Painting modules that I have previously completed.
I continue to be passionate, inspired and stimulated by art.
I am having the time of my life!
