Born in Saffron Walden, Essex, attending a Quaker primary school, then a farm school
all influenced my love of space and the simple rhythms of daily life.

In 1977 I moved to Rochester, N.Y. continuing making art through evening classes.
In 1989 I moved to New England and enrolled as a full time student at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

After graduation, art as process has been my refrain.
My daily motions, rituals and activities all serve as prompts allowing me to incorporate walking, making journeys, contemplative solitary actions becoming drawings, sewing into paper, wrapping sticks, paper manipulation and occasional performance.  I often work with my eyes closed, listening to music as the physical feel of the paper or canvas is of importance;  the act of sewing and the act of knitting is more important than the outcome…allowing spontaneity and surprise.

In 2008 I returned to the U.K. and now reside in Bath.
