Once the subject is established, the form of the work takes precedent. ‘I am excited by composition, colour and value relationships, the quality of a mark and its location!’Teaching is an important aspect of her life and she has experience of all ages, in schools and public and private organisations. Her aim is to support students to develop their own practice, build confidence, knowledge and ideas.
