Bio:

I grew up in Wiltshire, UK and relocated to Devon in 2021 - after a career spent in education - where I took a postgraduate Masters degree in Printmaking at Arts University Plymouth 2018-20. I work part-time as a Specialist Mentor – Autism Spectrum Conditions (SM-ASC) and in a Specialist one-to-one Study Skills and Strategy Support – Autism Spectrum Conditions (SS-ASC) role to support neurodiverse students at AUP and UoP, which I find enjoyable and worthwhile.

I’m a Friend of the Double Elephant print studio, Exeter, and I’m currently the PrintKin lead at Camp, an artist-led group with over 190+ members across Devon and Cornwall. I share a studio with Sue Lewry at Ocean Studios, part of the Royal William Yard complex, which I’m sure will lead to many new opportunities. As a member of CAMP PlymKin I showed some prints in the joint exhibition at Ocean Studios as part of Plymouth Arts Weekender, and other prints were shown at the New Cooperage building at RWY as part of Artober.
