I studied at Art and Design at Harrow School of Art (now amalgamated with The University of Westminster) and worked as a designer in London in the clothing industry for a few years before travelling to South Africa.
​
I then started up a silk-screen printing business, designing fashion prints and promotional T-shirts for local industries but when I volunteered to paint a mural for my daughter's school, it led to painting murals for homes, schools and restaurants, as well as other private commissions.
​
I eventually returned back to the UK and taught creative workshops in schools and organised art exhibitions, such as a 'Tutors' Summer Art Exhibition' for Missenden Abbey in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire.
I have also taught life drawing to GCSE students for Queens Park Art Centre, Buckinghamshire, UK and to local artists in the community and art classes at other franchise companies. I currently run my own art classes at Buckingham Park Community Centre, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
