I studied Fine Art Painting at the City and Guilds of London Art School and subsequently worked as the Graphics Officer in the Greek and Roman Department of the British Museum. I exhibited in London when I lived there before moving to the West country and exhibiting here. I trained as an art teacher in 2000 and taught until I had a child. I left teaching and took a postgraduate diploma in Landscape Architecture at the University of Gloucestershire and I now work part time in Bristol.
