I live with my energetic, and slight mad, husband and 2 boys, in Wolverhampton, UK. Being an artist and a mom isn't easy, especially when you suffer from Chronic Pain and Functional Neurological Disorder, but that's life and we we can only try to make the best of what we have. I want to show my boys that nothing should hold them back and that you can do anything you set your mind to. 

​

Growing up I  was always seen as the weirdo; with my head stuck in a book, my mind wandering off into the far reaches of the universe, and my physical appearance on the unusual side. I was either drawing, painting or sculpting something or writing some fiction story involving my friends. 

 

But I think that's what made me … me! My distorted mind. My unusual outlook on the world, and my bizarre interests. Okay, so nature isn't too bizarre, but when you blend that with the paranormal, mythology, spirituality, and the macabre, you get one hell of a crazy looking smoothie!

​

I like to see the beauty in the strange, the dark, the bizarre and the down-right whacky. And when I create my artwork, I want others to see that too. Sometimes, it's hard to keep the focus, when you imagination is constantly birthing new and fantastical ideas. It's even harder to decided which to follow and which to put aside for a rainy day. 

​

My future was forever changed the day I decided to take on a BA hons degree in Glass and Ceramics, at University of Wolverhampton. I never though I would ever be able to go to University or College, but it happened. It's the best and most important decision I did for myself, other than having children. This course, and meeting certain people have completely changed my life and the future I saw for myself. I never saw myself as a glass artists. It didn't even cross my mind to have anything to do with glass. Then one day I was introduce to pate de verre and everything I thought I wanted to do, and the future I saw for myself, got turned on its head. Best decision of my life and career.
