After nearly three decades in Art and Education I took a mini break and refreshed my art practice, writing an MA at Warwick University, later completing an Access course involving drawing, print making, ceramic's, and sculpture at mid Warwickshire College. With a new home and partner I set up a garden studio working in clay, fabric's, and machine embroidery. I held one man exhibition's annually and became involved in open studios since it's inception. My present home includes a small working space and kitchen area where i can initiate my idea's, the ceramic's I am showing are made, glazed and fired at Stanton Guildhouse .My present exhibition is based on memory and experience with a concern for the disappearance of our natural world and man's involvement in the process.
