About Me

I'm extremely passionate about my subject, so alongside my art practice I have worked as an Art educator for eleven years, devising and delivering holistic and educational workshops and classes for children starting at age three and up.

I also regularly run adult level workshops. These have taken place in both formal and informal settings and have included a wide range of ability levels. My background in textiles and illustration has provided me with a diverse set of skills which enable me to plan and deliver engaging and insightful sessions via a wide range of media and processes.
