While living in Germany I completed the Hauschka Art-therapy training and then worked for many years teaching children with special educational needs. I experienced the therapeutic and educational value of creative activities.

I currently work for the Hereford College of Technology where I teach adult students with learning difficulties, wherever possible I work creatively with the students. Over the years I have adapted and simplified the artistic process and techniques to enable students to participate as fully as possible. For example 'The Horse' is a chicken-wire frame covered in papier-mâché and then 'painted' with a mixture of sand and PVA. A simple but effective way to create a sculpture.
