I studied painting and pottery at Birmingham College of Arts and Crafts before being accepted at the Royal College of Music, where I was a student at the Opera School - still practising my art and earning my keep by designing and painting sets and costumes for some of the productions.
My main career was in music, but alongside that I ran an antiques restoration workshop, specialising in painted and gilded surfaces, decorating furniture to order and selling my own designs ranging from hand-painted silk cushions, painted leather garments and jewellery to screens and room dividers. I now enjoy making unique, elegant and wearable jackets from pre-loved fabrics. I enjoy rhythm and line and work in a variety of media to continue to explore many fields of creativity. |
