About The Artist

I had an ambition when I was very young to become an artist / designer and I continued to combine and develop both my art / design and fashion / sewing skills in various ways over the years.

In 1995, I achieved a Certificate for completing an Access Course at Basingstoke College of Technology and I progressed to be awarded a Batchelor of Arts Degree in the subject of Textiles for Fashion, via the University of Portsmouth (course attended at Basingstoke College of Technology) and in 2003 I achieved a Certificate as the Winner of the Higher Education Learner Award via Basingstoke Adult Learner Awards (Basingstoke College of Technology).

I have, in the past, exhibited my artwork at various venues including: The Art Show at Alexandra Palace, Farnham Maltings Gallery, Surrey, the West End Centre, Aldershot, Hampshire and Farnborough Festival of Arts, Hampshire.
