About me
I live on the Suffolk / Norfolk border in a converted barn that dates back to around 1626. Situated
on what passes for a hill in Suffolk, we are lucky enough to have lovely views over the Dove Valley,
especially at sunset.
I started out as a trained Art teacher and eventually I escaped into industry, working for an
educational supplies company. This gave me the confidence to start my own business training
teachers all over the UK. Eventually, the glamour of traveling in my big blue van wore off so now I
only roam locally on rare occasions.
I am an exhibiting artist specialising in painted textiles and my work can be seen at a variety of
venues in Suffolk. I belong to three different groups of artists, each one unique in nature, and enjoy
the stimulation and support that comes with belonging to a group. The groups I belong to are:
Textile Art Group Suffolk (TAGS), Chain Reaction and the Diss Embroidery Group.

I am a supporter of the 'Just a Card' campaign.
When you buy just a card, just a pin, just a book etc from an artist, maker, independent shop or creative
business you are not buying just a card. You are supporting passion, skill, creativity, originallity and
community. Join the campaign at justacard.org
