I have been developing a range of workshop sessions called Get Smart through Art. The themed workshops, which are geared for primary school children, will cross the curriculum through art based activities. I am keen to test these in school, valuing the input of pupils and teachers. I want to build on my experiences as a home educator to provide stimulus for different learning styles. I have home educated my children (aged 15 and 12) for the past nine years.

I am based in Derbyshire where I write/illustrate children’s picture books (presently unpublished), although my writing has been published in other genres.
