I was born in 1959 and graduated in English/Italian literature in 1981. I am mainly self-taught as an artist, but did attend two two-year part-time course in the 80's whilst being subsidised by Margaret Thatcher's grant for government artists - the one in painting and drawing, the other in craft materials.

Since 1996 I have lived and worked in Hungary - mainly through Tesol, though I have also exhibited and in recent years, am once more devoting increasingly more time to the creative side of my life. These include working on larger mixed-media pieces using materials ranging from wax and polystyrene to glass fragments, smaller abstract mixed-media collage pieces on paper, and abstract drawings either in colour or in black and white.

I have also designed a full 78 colour deck of Tarot cards, the trumps of which were published by Adam Mc Clean in 2006. Since then, I have updated several cards and you can order cards here: https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/the-chalice-tarot-deck
