About Me

I’m an artist and a teacher. I trained as a potter, further developed my artistic abilities, ideas and communication skills as a community artist and then worked as a freelance artist in schools and a public artist in the Worcestershire and West Midlands area. I took a detour for 10 years to teach art full time at both primary and secondary level in mainstream and special education (SEMH).

I am now back as an artist working on commissions in the public realm. I use whatever media is most suitable for the artwork, ranging from mosaics to  steel inlay, from engraved stone to digitally printed window films and banners.

I love working in my visual journals, practising drawing and making note of the things I see around me.  As with any skill, drawing becomes rusty quickly if not practised, as does the ability to really look and see properly as an artist, so keeping a regular journal as well as more project specific sketchbooks/workbooks is important to me.

I really enjoy looking inside other peoples sketchbooks, and hope you will enjoy looking at mine as I continue to post selections and galleries of my images here.
