I have been drawing and sewing since childhood and making books for many years, during a career that has involved librarianship, editing, and other work in publishing. Art and textiles courses at City Lit, London, led to the art foundation course, which I completed in March 2010; in September 2012 I completed the MA Visual Arts (book arts pathway) at Camberwell College of Art. My project title was "Everyone's everyday journey: growing older"; it looked at aspects of memory, functioning, and language in adult life - topics which I am developing in further work.
