I was born in Kenya and lived there until the age of 21yrs.It took me 7 yrs to save my airfare to go to the UK to study Art. I lived in various parts of London from the East End to West London during the 60's and London was a very exciting City to live. I did my Foundation Course at Sir John Cass College in E. London. During the course of my first term at Manchester College of Art I decided to take up Embroidery instead of Painting as I found the tactile contact with materials textural and seductive.
I learned copper foil and leaded glass techniques from Nancy Weisser of Kensington, Md., and studied mosaics with Rick Shelley of Baltimore and Ilana Shafir of Israel. I work with glass, ceramic, stone, shell, and found objects in both stained glass and mosaic projects. I enjoy doing commissions that incorporate the personality and taste of a client, and maybe even the client’s own broken plates, old buttons, or beach glass.

How fortunate I am to have found the medium of ceramic tile. My fascination with flora and fauna, meeting my technique of relief sculpted terra cotta, brought to a mouthwatering finish with my own custom glazes. I love making tiles!
