After studying fine art at Portsmouth Poly in the 1980s, I undertook an MA in textiles at goldsmiths college, London. I shifted medium from sheet metal sculptures to fibre and textiles which was a radically different way of working... I became entranced by the medium of felt making, which seemed to enable a different way of mark making - painting with wool . As the colour range of wool tops expanded , the capacity for depicted imagery did too. I have exhibited widely in the uk and undertaken commissions here and abroad over 30 years. On leaving College I was artist in residence at Battersea Arts Centre in London, where I ran the pottery ( and let my old friend and colleague grayson perry have a corner! ) I had a studio at New brewery Arts, cirencester for 15 years until 2015 when I moved to one in Stroud. Now in Ledbury for a short time, we are hoping to move back to the area... My latest show will be Wool to Wall at Hay Castle , during Hay literature festival
