Our lives have been enriched over the years by the things we get involved in or the passions we have followed and for Avenda one of those passions is her art.

A member of the Maison des Artistes, Avenda paints and illustrates from her Devon studio … Atelier Avenda … overlooking the sea at Teignmouth. You can see her work here.
Avenda’s work as an artist, an actor and a publisher allows her that ultimate luxury of a life by the sea.
Following a study of drama, film and art, both at Exeter University and the University of California (Santa Barbara) she now has the Teign Estuary outside her studio balcony and the salt air blowing across her face.
