Half Welsh, born in England, I now live and work in Wales.

I moved to Anglesey from Sussex in 1996, after working latterly
in the context of HIV/AIDS services in Brighton. I returned to study
and graduated in Fine Art from Coleg Menai (University of Wales)
in 2004. Currently work can be seen at
Oriel Tegfryn, (Anglesey), Hadfield Fine Art (Cheltenham), and on Axis (online resource for contemporary art).

Work experience
Between 1970 and 1996 I worked freelance in a variety of ways, including editing/dtp, adult education, and as a writer. I had 100+ scripts broadcast in the BBC schools tv and radio service, stories and articles published in magazines, several books in the educational field, and a musical (for which I contributed book and lyrics) performed in the Minerva Studio at Chichester Festival Theatre and on the London Fringe.
