In 1991 I took a career change and gave up my day job to embark on a BA (Hons) Design Arts course as a mature student at the University of Plymouth. For the last 16 years I have continuously enjoyed working in mixed media; which stimulates and challenges my work as it takes on a new appearance to fulfil a particular visual concept. Recent experiments have been with printing, stitching and ceramics.
