Graduating from the BA Fine Art course at The University of Derby in 2013, I began exhibiting and taking part in artist residencies right away. For the next 8 years I then worked as a project assistant at Paul Cummins Ceramics, working on large scale art installations as well as studio projects.

In 2018 I took on my first studio at Banks Mill, focusing on building up my own creative practice. Since then I have continued to build up my business, selling ceramic sculpture at events, fairs and exhibitions to clients as far away as Las Vegas.

In 2022 I returned to the University of Derby and gained my MA Art degree. During this time, I also graduated as a tenant from Banks Mill and became part of the team, helping to support students and new tenants and members who are at the beginning of their own creative journey.
