I am a painter and maker living in Devon & Doha with my husband, son and our dog, Rosie. I used to be a secondary school teacher but thankfully I've recovered from that now :-) I studied film and literature with a final year option in fine art that, as it turned out, I enjoyed more than my whole degree put together. But it's taken me a few career diversions to return to my true love of arts and crafts. I paint what and when I am inspired to do so and am moved by colour and light.

I also just love to sew, usually by hand, something I learnt to do when I was little; I don't use patterns, prefering to make things as I go along, enjoying the freedom and creativity of this.
