BIO
My creative career began in London at St. Martins School of Art and Middlesex University, where I studied Printed Textiles. I began to focus on a collection of glass jewellery, mirrors, tableware and lighting. This I sold to over thirty different outlets in and around the UK, the USA/Hong Kong and Europe. After twelve years of running my own businesses, I took a break and relocated firstly to Mull, in Scotland and then settled in Cambridge. Here, I opened a cafe and gallery, The Urban Larder. Stocking local food, producers and local artists from a twenty mile radius. Following five successful years, I decided to sell the business and return to my ‘first love’, that of painting.
I relocated to, Devon, at the beginning of the second lockdown, securing a place on a Masters Degree in Painting. I look forward to continuing to develop my painting skills while looking to exhibit in and around Cornwall and Devon.
I enjoy working with upcycled wood, canvas and art materials, developing installation one off pieces and canvases (unframed) which can be posted to the client to frame up themselves in a frame of their choosing.
