ABOUT ME
When I was in my early twenties I travelled and worked extensively in Europe and North Africa and Asia for 3.5yrs, where I worked using my art skills to get by, painting signs for restaurants, nightclubs boats, and portraits in the Greek Islands and Israel. I went on to do a degree in Public Art at Chelsea School of Art. And was given the opportunity of working on a project called "freedom through Creativity" after I finished my degree ,it was working with prisoners and artists along side each other and creating sculpture,paintings,mosaics, poetry and creative writing these were all then exhibited at the Corn Exchange Brighton.
During the last 20yrs I have worked in many Institutions and communities and specialised in working with the more challenging sectors such as Dyslexia, Special Needs, Mental health, probation services hospitals and dementia.
I have worked in Boston U.S.A, teaching Art and mosaics In Cambridge Mass, and have now reside in Liverpool UK and below is a listing of recent employment.
It is my belief that art is for all to be shared and enjoyed, if I leave any legacy it will not be the glossy covered Art book on the coffee table, but hopefully warmth in the memories and hearts of the everyday people that I have had the pleasure to know.
