A B O U T 

From an early age I could be found drawing, sewing, sculpting, or making houses for my toy animals. This love of sitting quietly and creating Art is nestled deep in my core. I studied Graphic design at The University of Creative Arts, it was there I discovered my love of project managing and teaching. I was fortunate enough to have a wonderful lecturer who encouraged me to stay there and teach. I now have 20 years experience of making Art and I am so lucky to be teaching Fine Art at an outstanding grammar school in Essex, UK. 
am inspired by all things related to the land & sea, I mostly create semi abstract landscapes, collages and prints. I seek connection to the natural world and believe that through the mindful process of creating Art that it can heal and replenish. 
My current interests are the weather, story telling, beach combing, handmade, and wonky lines. 
Thank you to Peter- by biggest champion!

In my spare time I run Art classes for anyone wanting to make space to be creative. My classes are peaceful, tranquil and mindful. 
We all need time to be creative and allow our ideas and creative energy to flow freely. It’s good for the soul! 
Sometimes we don’t have time, or feel uncertain of our abilities so avoid being creative. My classes are designed for you to feel supported, guided, and prompted. You are able to explore your own ideas or follow my guidance step by step. 
Look after yourself, get into the state of flow, reduce your stress and meet other likeminded people.
