Having moved to Hawkhurst, she has been studying at East Sussex College, Hastings.
"Recently I have been drawing an old agricultural barn where I walk most days. I felt an affinity with structures like these as I spent many happy times as a child playing in and around them. As well as being a working farm building, they are somewhere to shelter and escape. I use the printing method as a way of painting and my prints are always unique as I use collage (chine college) and often more than three to four different etching or collagraph plates to create one image."
