I studied art at foundation level at Kelsterton College, and fine art at degree level at Falmouth School of Art and later undertook a post graduate certificate in education at Didsbury College. I combined a career in teaching art with developing my own work. My work has been selected for exhibition at the Royal Academy and Mall Galleries in London, and I've held a solo exhibition at Smith’s gallery Covent Garden. I've sold my work widely through exhibitions, galleries, and the internet via my website: www.allumart.co.uk.
