I use recycled fragments mixed with paint, glue and stitching to create energetic and intricate collages.  Often they are based on places I have visited, incorporating tickets and scraps from my handbag.

Since completing my degree in Architecture at Sheffield University, I have been working part time as an architectural assistant in Derbyshire.  The  way I approach my art is very different from the precise, measured way I design and draw buildings at work, though I enjoy the variety of work I do.

As part of an 18 month University research project, I helped to organise and facilitate workshops to develop ideas about architecture with children in Sheffield.  The project has recently come to an end, but the knowledge gained from this has helped design my own workshops, working with small groups to produce artwork relevant to their interests and ideas.
