ARTIST'S BACKGROUND

During the late 1990s she was accepted onto a Fine Art Degree Course but due to bereavement she was unable to continue. Later she studied glass/sculpture by taking intensive specialist courses at Central St. Martins, The Sculpture Academy, London, and Creative Glass, Rochester. She attended the British Glass Biennale in 2004 and was inspired by the weekend and in particular the exhibition. She applied to Westminster AES to study glass casting. After this two-year part time course she attended Richmond Adult Community College where she studied pâte de verre and a course taking as inspiration the sculpture of Henry Moore.
