My work is informed by my background in Psychology and Teaching. I specialised in child development and worked as a Primary School Teacher. In addition to my degree in Psychology and my PGCE, I went on to gain a BA Hons degree in Fine Art and a post graduate qualification in art psychotherapy. This led to me running my own business delivering arts projects to schools and the wider community, with a particular interest in mental health and wellbeing fostered through art.

As my own work has developed, I would describe my practise as mixed media textiles. I experiment with changing the surface qualities of fabric using processes that reflect meaning and combine these fabrics into out of context garments and doll like figures. These stand alone, but can be combined to create installations intended to engage the viewer and evoke an emotional response.
