I graduated with a BA(Hons) in fine art as a mature student in 1986 and have been mostly painting ever since showing my work in many exhibitions in, Norwich, Ipswich, Sudbury taking part in the Gainsborough touring exhibition of drawings, in Bury St Edmunds, Stoke-on Trent, Halesworth, and Aldeburgh for the last 4 years. I have also tutored art classes for over 14 years and continue this in Beccles. For the last ten years I have added collages and sculptural assemblages to my repertoire. I am very interested in the found object and mostly work on driftwood and found and gifted wood. I use the wood to give me ideas for the piece if the wood speaks to me that way. I also use myths, legends, history and other artists as inspiration. I often make and write small books to go with bigger works which contain research information and maybe my own poems. I open my studio every year for Suffolk Open Studios event and will be open for the middle two weekends in June.
