Born in Salisbury, Wiltshire, I studied art in Florence, Italy, and did my MA in Printmaking at Wimbledon School of Art. I have been teaching art and creative subjects to children during my working life and now that I am retired I spend a lot of time travelling , sketching and producing a variety of work in my studio. I recently completed a commission of 12 watercolours of Ethiopian scenes for the Ethiopian Embassy's charitable project Link Ethiopia. I exhibited my ceramics at the Day Of The Dead festival by the Mexican Embassy 2014 at The OXO tower .
