Employment history

I have worked as a lecturer in Art and Design at UHI Perth since 1997, lecturing to a wide range of creative courses, both FE and HE ranging from SCQF level 4 to Level 10.

I continue to be a practising artist and have exhibited my work both nationally and internationally.

I worked as a surface pattern designer for Design Story UK designing bedlinen and curtain fabrics which were sold in Japan.

I have experience working for a taxidermist as a re-touching artist/ Illustrator.
