After gaining my fine art degree in Yorkshire, I went into teaching art, and was part of the Inclusion Department for people with special learning needs.
For many years I worked in Prison education, where I set up accreditation such as City & Guilds, National OCNs and a University Foundation Award for learners aiming towards a degree.
These links grew to form an arts alliance with hosts in many countries and I was able to visit Denmark & Germany as part of my work.
Now retired, I enjoy exploring the nature on my doorstep and making art in my home studio and my involvement with the Kirkcolm Community Trust team, means I can share my artistic skills and knowledge for the community.
