OVERVIEW
I have a Fine Art degree and am particularly interested in collections, memories and the sea. I also enjoy collage, drawing, painting, printing and etching and am excited by Art History, museums and galleries.
Tables, grids and lists form an important part of my art making and draw on the comprehensive administrative and IT skills gained in my working life as an administrator.
