I am a full-time visual artist living and working in Cheshire England. I studied 3DD Ceramics and Textiles BA (Hons) at The University of the Creative Arts, Farnham, Surrey before embarking on a fulltime 30 year career in Further Education. I am a fully qualified Lecturer with a Certificate in Further Education and an MA in Professional Education, specialising in Mental Health Support. I retired from my college after a long career and have since worked in Health and Social Care as an Activity Coordinator. In 2023 I decided to set up my own art studio attached to my family home and facilitate Art workshops in a variety of local settings.
