Biography & Exhibitions
I am a London-based artist whose subject matter explores the interactions between art, nature and the urban environment. I have exhibited for more than a decade and have been a full-time artist since 2014.
After a degree in History of Art, I initially trained as an art teacher, moving quickly into museum education. From 1991 to 2014 I worked in the Learning Department of the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A), becoming Head of Gallery Interpretation, Residencies & Access. After leaving the V&A I gained an Master of Fine Arts with Distinction from Wimbledon College of Arts UAL in 2018.
