Artist's Biography
I was brought up in Swansea and on the Gower Coast in South Wales. I studied Stained Glass at Swansea Art College, Glass & Ceramics at Stourbridge Art College, and Glassblowing at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
I spent ten years teaching Art & Design, Fine Art, Sculpture & Ceramics and later studied for an MA in Art & Design Education at Manchester Polytechnic. I am a professional working artist, I paint, draw, take photographs and make artist's books. I am also a tutor on Painting and Photography courses for The Open College of the Arts. I am involved with Cardigan Open Studios and the Teifi Artists Group.
I live and work in West Wales, near the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path and the Ceredigion Coast and have a small studio North of Cardigan on the A487.
My work has been exhibited widely and is in several private collections in Great Britain and abroad.
I was outright winner of The Independent/Energy Saving Trust National Photography Competition in 2003 and consequently, my work was on display at The Science Museum, London for three months in 2003/4, and featured in a special Independent supplement.
I have also had work shown in a Royal Photograph Society's International Print Show, Wexford Artists Book Exhibition, which travelled Eire, Y Tabernacl, Machynlleth, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, and many other venues.
I recently co-curated 'Lines & Strata' - Welsh Drawing Show and competition, open to Artists from all over the Principality, shown at Oriel Mwldan, Cardigan.
