About

I am a Derbyshire-based, practising artist and art tutor. Since 1994 I have had experience working with educational establishments and groups such as schools , art societies, art galleries and museums, residential care homes, homeless hostels, domestic abuse refuges, hospitals and within mental health and special needs facilities.

I have a degree in textile design, and a masters from Central St Martins in Communication Design / Illustration. I remain passionate about my subject and enjoy sharing skills and knowledge with others.

I am interested in collaborating with other disciplines such as science, storytelling, music and dance. My workshops (run and developed by myself over 26 years), are devised to promote safe practice, develop communication skills and provide a rounded understanding of Art and Design.

I have a love of natural history and enjoy gardening and walking my dog.
