A bit about me…

 

I graduated from Winchester School of Art in Textile art and ran a design and silk screen printing business before working  in Film,Television, Theatre and Opera in the UK and US as a Scenic painter and Art Director.  Latterly I worked as an Arts project manager in the Regeneration, Public arts and Health sectors.


Now, working as a full time artist and teacher, I exhibit regularly with Crouch End Open Studios, East Finchley Open Studios, Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair, Festival of Print, and am part of the Printmakers Council. 


I facilitates several art groups: Art and Creativity, a Wet and WIld group and am currently building Art and Nature retreats in France and Wales, connecting and responding to the quiet unassuming power of the Wild.
