In the 1980s I left my home in Lancashire to study Fashion & Textiles at Liverpool's John Moores University. After obtaining my degree I worked as a designer for Courtaulds in South Africa and then returned to the UK to train as a teacher of art. My last teaching post was at the Oldershaw Academy in Wallasey on the Wirral peninsula.

I now spend my time travelling and painting. 

My work is currently exhibited at the Blue Moon Gallery in Heswall and Merseymade art cafe in Liverpool city centre.
