Experience in art education

I studied art at Dartington College of Arts and went on to train as a teacher at Rolle College.

Experience as an illustrator plus with 15 years of teaching, together with parenthood, has given me outstanding insight into the effective engagement of art students.

I have been head of art in two schools, one of which achieved Artsmark Gold. In both schools I led projects working with the National Gallery that exhibited children’s work in the Gallery itself.

In helping to promote art teaching in Dorset, I was a committee member of DepARTure - a county funded group promoting the arts in schools.

Mission statement

In difficult times when art in education is becoming seriously under-resourced, my mission is to support excellence in art teaching and learning for schools and community groups.
