background
I set aside designing and making jewellery in 2008 to explore the motivations behind my craft practice and gained my MA Fine Art in 2012. Alongside my craft practice I worked as a freelance consultant and subject specialist. I also taught visual arts subjects, including professional development, within adult, further and higher education settings until 2016. I now focus on making drawings and sculptural assemblages, mainly from materials I find.
