About
After working in the public sector and business consultancy I returned to university to take a BA (hons) in Fine Art from Oxford Brookes, graduating in 2006. I had my daughter in 2007 and the next few years were a mix of child raising, art internships and open studio events. Exhibiting with Mothers who Make in 2019 invigorated my love of making and exhibiting so I returned to Oxford Brookes to take an MFA in Fine Art, finally graduating in 2021 (after a break due to the pandemic). I work from my studio in my garden in Buckinghamshire.
