I STUDIED FASHION AND TEXTILES AT ST MARTINS SCHOOL OF ART IN THE LATE 70S. AFTER GRADUATING AND WHILST RAISING MY FAMILY I FREELANCED ON A NUMBER OF PROJECTS FROM INTERIORS TO PATTERN CUTTING AND PRODUCING LEATHER BOOTEES FOR BABIES. I RETURNED TO STUDY FINE ART AT COLCHESTER INSTITUTE SEVERAL YEARS AGO, ALTHOUGH REALISED I STILL HAD A DESIGN AND TEXTILE BIAS.
THE ADVENT OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY LED ME TO EXPERIMENT MORE AND MORE WITH MANIPULATING IMAGES AND I STARTED SELLING THESE IMAGES AS CARDS AND CUSHIONS
RECENTLY I HAVE BECOME DRAWN MORE TO THE FINE ART SIDE OF PHOTOGRAPHY AND MY IMAGES HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY PAINTERLY.I AM INSPIRED MAINLY BY MY GARDEN AND MY PHOTOGRAPHS ARE TAKEN IN MY STUDIO IN NATURAL LIGHT AGAINST PAINTED BACKDROPS BEFORE BEING MANIPULATED
