Having worked as a senior executive in a corporate environment for most of my working life, In February 2022 I chose to retire and focus on my passion for mosaics. I trained for over 20 years with a wide variety of mosaic artists and my passion is creating colourful mosaics to add interest and reflection into gardens. I am keen to share my passion and have now set up a range of face to face workshops and mosaic kits.
