I live on the Aldershot-Farnham border with classes based in my home studio or at my town centre Aldershot studio in Maker's Yard. Larger courses and events are also held at gallery venues locally.  Come and visit me in the town and see my work in progress! 

I hold various well-being and coaching certifications and I love exploring positive mental heath with clients through expressive and creative arts; painting, clay work, crafting, poetry, journaling and performance as well as teaching breath-work meditation. I'm a solution-focussed coach, but I'm also a Christian coach and can meet that need for those who would like a more faith-centred approach. 

I've been a teacher (QTS) since 1999, and was a headteacher for 16 years before retiring from the profession. I still enjoy working with schools through workshops and events, as well as supporting children, as well as adults, through confidence coaching. 

I take commissions alongside my surface design and  illustration work. As a mixed-media artist I often combine 3D elements, or different media. I am able to teach a variety of crafted elements such as whittling, leather craft, printing, felt craft and embroidery. 

I also provide developmental early learning support and academic studies, taught through the arts in a style associated with alternative education systems that I've had the privilege of studying (Waldorf, Montessori, Nordic Education)

I also enjoy the privilege of working with families through wedding day art, bedroom design and my 'miniature worlds' to celebrate special events.
