About
I graduated in 1997 with a BA (Hons) Embroidery from MMU.  In the same year I won the Embroiderer's Guild Scholarship which enabled me to tour with my textiles and help me set up my Community Art Practice. 

I freelance creating community art projects for schools, museums, hospitals and art centres.
Over the years I have also taken on various roles from teaching textiles, NFWI national craft adviser and art coordinator for different galleries through to preventative conservation roles with the National Trust. 

I completed my MA in Textiles at Farnham UCA in 2021.

For the past 10 years my textile practice has taken a back seat working for the National Trust as a Conservation Assistant, as Craft Adviser for the  charitable organisations and art centers and various full time and part time teaching roles.
