biographyArtist's work»
I was born and brought up in London and came to Cambridge when I was 18 where I trained as a French and English teacher at Homerton College. After teaching in India and Pakistan in 1968 and 1969, I returned to Cambridge to bring up my three sons.
In 1976 we lived in Singapore and on our return I worked from 1978 until 1995 with minority ethnic and refugee families for the Cambridgeshire County Council Education Department.
In 1996 I decided to change direction in life and started teaching English as a Foreign Language in private language schools. It was at this point that I began stone-carving after being fired up by a visit to Zimbabwe where I encountered Shona stone-carvers creating beautiful and moving three dimensional images.
Since that time stone-carving has become an integral and absorbing part of my life. I work in verdite, alabaster, soapstone and limestone. What I love about carving is the vital surge of energy I feel when my ideas find expression within the stone.
Some sculptures are for sale, please contact the artist for details.
