Art is a form of escapism. Creating art, tuning into the simpler things in life can help people cope in uncertain times...

I cannot remember not creating something. I was always the kid that would draw all over paper mats in restaurants...

I like to believe that every bag I save and upcycle makes a difference, even if it is very small...

My journey into jewellery started in High School when I began designing and making a range of jewellery all made from recycled materials.

After a very early retirement from my teaching post I started to make ceramics on a full-time basis.
