I was born and schooled in Birmingham in the United Kingdom.  I have travelled extensively in Europe, America, Central America and Australasia and lived in London, New York and Sydney.  I have been a musician and an artist since a young age and had a successful exhibition whilst I was studying at Oxford University as well as winning a BBC national portrait competition in the UK.  For a while, I drew and sold portraits on the beach front in Spain.

I recently completed a year-long intensive mastery program at the Milan Institute of Art.  

I now live in the South Island of New Zealand with my husband and sons where I am an artist and a primary school principal.  I am dedicated to my art and have created over 100 artworks in the last year alongside my professional commitments in the field of education.
