                Statement:

                I received my first real watercolour box at age 10 and drew and painted up to 'A' level. I went to Coventry College specialising in painting and 
                sculpture but left and then worked as a screen print designer before having a family. I returned to college for 4 years, studying Textile Design 
                and Embroidery where I was re-introduced to Printmaking.  Two years design masterclasses in London and print study at West Dea, Knuston 
                Hall and local studios followed. I am a member of the Fellowship of Professional and Amateur Artist, I hold their diploma; and of the Northamptonshire
                Guild of Designer Craftsmen.
