TTT graduated from LSAD with an honours degree in Fine Art Painting receiving the Tom Fox Award 2013. Painting in vibrant colours with the freedom of abstraction in tandem with the discipline of photorealism, she creates unique images that sizzle with life, energy and colour. Whether depicting the delicacy of the cherry blossom or the elusive blooms of the cannonball tree, or the highly charged symbolism of the common poppy, her flower paintings radiate a world of beautifully illustrated botanicals against the backdrop of free-flowing abstraction.

I am a qualified nursery/primary school teacher. I teach ceramics in local primary and secondary schools and from my studio. My strengths are in designing and delivering projects appropriate for and with a student-centred focus.

I enjoy working in a collaborative setting, presently working designing ceramics for the 'craft' beer industry.
