Having taken my foundation studies in fine art at West Surrey College of Art and Design, I decided that a break in studies was needed, and I began working in the real world. A brief 37 years later, I moved to Ireland with my husband, giving up all that normal stuff to take a BA in Contemporary Art Practice at the Atlantic Technological University, (formerly Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) ) and revisit my love of creating.

Keen to expand and develop, I am  never content with standing still and will always be seeking my next engaging project.
