2010    Curriculum Vitae
 
I come from a background in Zoology. In 1992 I took the Certificate in Art & Design at Cleveland College of Art in Middlesbrough, specialising in photography with Karen Melvin.
 
From 1997 to the present day I have painted with a group of painters in Harrogate, also attending classes at The Slade, Leith School of Art, Edinburgh and with Eleanor White at Slenningford, Ripon and in Ullapool, Scotland. I have hand-made books, batik, sculpture and photographs and more recently, paintings in private and public collections.
