Welcome

Narrow boat 'the pod' on her maiden voyage



All of my work is made on 'the pod' a purpose built 28 foot narrow boat. The pod is permanently moored near Earlswood on the Stratford Canal she has forays into Birmingham's Gas Street Basin and Brindley Place where visitors are welcome.

I am an artist living and working in Birmingham with almost twenty years experience in the arts field. I have worked in museums, on community arts projects and in secondary schools as a teacher.



I left teaching in January 2008 to work full time as a freelance artist. I am continuing to work in schools as an artist in residence as well as developing my own art practice.

My recent work is based on my exploration of the inland waterways from the canal or river bank to the view from my narrow boat.



Light, sight, movement, colour, landscape, I find this a rich source of inspiration, the constantly changing nature of water combined with the solidity of 'man made' structures. My work at present has quite diverse outcomes whilst I continue to develop the themes associated with my source material.
