Biography

Biography

After my son was born, I taught myself alot of art practices, then taught others in order to teach myself greater skills.

I eventually specialised in oils but began a passion for printmaking. And cleaning to pay those endless bills.

 

However, I discovered in my teaching how often emotions would rise to the surface with my students and I ended up talking them through their feelings, anger, disappointment and fears.  I wondered how it all related and looked into art therapy but didn’t proceed because it was so overwhelming for me. And I couldn’t afford the ££ or time.

So here I am looking at it again and hopefully I’ll be able to go forward with a bit of structure.
