My slice of my back story…

I grew up in the North East of England.

At the age of 17 I attended an Art Foundation Course in York , and went on to study at Leeds Collage of Art and Design for a further 3 years. 

In the past my work has been accepted into the South West Academy Open exhibition , The Armed Forces Exhibition in London War Museum and the Plymouth City Gallery.

In 2024 I was encouraged by a “pre selection” to the New English Arts Club Open Exhibition at The Mall Gallery in London. Later in 2024 when a drawing was selected for The Women’s Art Society Open at the Mall Gallery in London so I was thrilled!

I have always visited and drawn in St Ives regularly . So it was a special moment to exhibit at the prestigious The Penwith Gallery in St Ives last summer as part of the Associates Open Summer Exhibition.

Solo exhibitions have been held in Tavistock Arts Centre and recently at Sandridge Barton in South Devon and I have had joint exhibitions at the Frame Gallery in Perth and Zillah Bells in Yorkshire.

Recently may work has changed direction again. Whilst I am now drawing from past knowledge, using texture and form,found in Dartmoor but also I asking myself this question,,, How our immediate surroundings mould us?

My exciting news for 2025 … a piece from my current ongoing project has been selected by London Art Biennale VII Edition - wow- what a privilege!!

If you want to chat or visit my studio on the outskirts Dartmoor let me know- I work in an ancient stone barn near Ashburton.
