I trained at City and Guilds of London Art School, as a decorative artist/designer under
the late Sir Roger de Grey PPRA and his wife, Flavia Irwin RA. The degree course
in Decorative Arts was taught as a Modern Fine Art approach to the surface decoration
of objects, employing techniques from Renaissance Italy and 17^th Century Japan.
Using these techniques, I work to commission from my studio in Wiltshire, and through galleries
in the Cotswolds, West Berkshire and Wiltshire, producing pieces as diverse as mirrors,
decorative boxes, sculptural urns and platters, lamps, tables, screens and wall panels.

Increasingly my fascination with the mirrored surface, has led me to create large scale sculptures to
reflect an open-air environment, using techniques which stand up to British weather conditions.

My studio is open in May 2008, under the West Berkshire and North Hampshire Open Studios Scheme,
in association with the Newbury Spring Festival.
I am also a member of the Marlborough Open Studios Scheme.

My work is illustrated in the following books:
