I have always drawn and painted even as a very small child.

After my A levels I completed an Art Foundation at Stockport Technical College and then went on to Manchester Metropolitan University to study for a BA(Hons)  in educational design.

After the birth of my two children, as well as regular commission work, I became much more involved in community art in Cheshire where I lived; running a wide variety of creative community ventures.

These ranged from working with marginalized youngsters to Church and Rotary events and much more in between.

Following a life move to Anglesey in 2010 I founded H 'Artworks Gallery as a creative space where others could find their own unique creative voice. I exhibited my own work and encouraged others to exhibit in my space to promote up and coming new talent. 

My real passion is to allow others to find who they are through my workshops. I have run a large selection of workshops and classes including watercolours, silk painting, silk scarf dyeing, batik, mixed media, glass painting, brusho, pastels, acrylics and water based oils.

Working across the whole public sector including libraries, schools, the WI, Children in Action, Young Carers, the bereaved and the visually impaired,

I have found great joy in enabling others to find the key to their own creativity.
