I am a self taught potter, working from a purpose built studio at my home in Leigh on Sea, Essex. I am an Advanced Skills Teacher, working part time in a special school where I am also a Teacher Governor. Additionally, I teach art at Meadowfield Nature Study Centre and provide children's art workshops for their open days.
I am an active member of the Leigh Art Trail, exhibiting and assisting in the organisation of the event and our auction each year. I arrange schools' exhibitions and children's art workshops, carry out demonstrations throughout the trail and manage and update the website. I am also a selected member of the Anglian Potters Association and regularly exhibit in their collective exhibitions. As a member of Activate Visual Arts Group, based in Chelmsford, I play an active and supportive role in promoting the visual arts. I attend an artists peer critique group, ArtistsMeet, with an emphasis on critcal engagement, collaboration and sociallly-engaged practices.
