My formal art training started in stained glass: I did my apprenticeship with Patrick Reyntiens, O.B.E, at Mr Reyntiens stained glass studio in Somerset. Back in Bristol I completed a Diploma in Art & Design, followed in July 2011 by an undergraduate degree at the University of the West of England in Drawing & Applied Arts. I have been working hard to become a professional artist and have produced this collection of nine unique designs for cushions, which are now available at Kings Road Company, St Mawes in Cornwall, and online.
