I have been working as a London based mosaic artist for 20 years. My work is featured in homes,  community centres, public spaces and gardens in the UK and Europe.  My inspiration comes from a wide variety of sources - including traditional art and mosaics from  the Middle East and India, the Renaissance, as well as modern European art. I am stimulated by  what is around me - landscapes, buildings, people and this is reflected in my work, both in terms  of the material I use and subject matter. I like to explore and experiment with a wide variety of  materials and techniques - from exquisite Venetian glass smalti, to rubble which I find in the local  building site.  I may produce a small picture, a portrait, a large backdrop for a cafe, an installation for a garden,  tables, pots or a large sculpture for an outside space. I am commissioned by individuals who may  have a specific theme in mind, and institutions.  I have organised and worked in community projects with people of all ages and abilities. I am also  a clinical psychologist which can be helpful when working with vulnerable people and groups. I have exhibited in the UK and Europe.
