with Distinction from Swansea Institute. She lectures at Gorseinon
College, Swansea and regularly conducts workshops for community groups

featured in galleries across the UK and abroad, and is held in private
collections in France, USA and Australia.
Artist's Statement
My work focuses on the urban environment and landscape, with an emphasis
on repetitive pattern; the every-day occurrences, repetitious and
transient experiences associated with journeys to and from the city,
personal diaries of journeys that are narratives of every-day life; the
daily journey back and forth to a place of work, which becomes
significant as landmarks and milestones are greeted and time is measured
by their passing.
Also the impact of crowds on our cities and the rituals associated with their behaviour; football matches, which are attended religiously and communicate a sense of belonging as the masses regularly group to worship their team.
Despite the freedom to fully explore other methods of working, the medium of printmaking has always been embraced.
