She began painting professionally in 1950.

Over eighty of her paintings, including landscapes, hang in Palaces, Government Offices, Embassies and Stately Homes but many more are in smaller, private collections all over the world

Examples of her work include the following two paintings

Full permissions have been sought and granted for their inclusion here.

There are a great number of references to Mai as a and her work on the internet and it is worth while "googling" Mai Griffin to find out more - as she is a British Artist with over 50 years of Portrait painting behind her, it is perhaps quite surprising to discover that she has also written (and still does) mystery thrillers as well. She currently lives in Marina Alta region of Spain
