I have been a creative and a maker all my life. My formal art training stopped at the age of 15 as my educators did not believe that art was a real subject.

I trained as a teacher and facilitated art in a variety of settings from mainstream schools to a mens' remand prison and in care homes.

In the winter of 2017 and again in 2018 I went to Bridge House Art in the North West Highlands of Scotland and got the art education I had always wanted.

Since then I have painted, created and made things every day.
