I have facilitated many 'Emotions/Grief & Art' Workshops since 1999 and the last one was June 2021.


I qualified as an Advanced CGRS in 2020 and love delivering the Helping Children With Loss programme.


I love creating my own art and the last few exhibitions have been a wonderful exploration of my fascination with line, movement, memory and sometimes loss.
