Painting. drawing & linoprint

From a very young age I was drawn to work creatively with whatever materials came my way.

At the age of 16, I leapt at the opportunity to attend The Amersham School of Art in Buckinghamshire. I explored all media on the foundation course, later to specialise in painting and printmaking, where I gained a Diploma.

Consequently this lead me to further my studies for 3 years on a Degree course in North East London, exploring and strengthening my skills. 

Before moving to North Devon, I spent 14 years facilitating art sessions for people with epilepsy and brain disorders, working along side an art therapist. I was blessed with the task of organising exhibitions to promote awareness of epilepsy, but more importantly, exhibiting the work of the artists.  

I am very fortunate that I can now devote my time to doing what I love best of all, being creative.
