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 (passed with a Distinction). 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 share a studio (with Sue Lewry) at Ocean Studios, part of the Royal William Yard complex, and regularly run evening classes and workshops there (search for these at RAMP https://ramp.realideas.org/whats-on/ ). I’m a Co-Director of CAMP CIC and a member of the CAMP PrintKin group, A-N and VASW.
