I’m a writer, tutor,artist and mum. I was born in London to a West Indian dad and a Welsh mum. When I was six I went to live in Khartoum and then went to live in North Wales. I travelled to Nigeria during my teens.I have four children and mostly I educated them myself. I still tutor other children after school.
i began writing to save myself or find myself. I have written three novel manuscripts one of which is published on the internet. I have also written several essays and stories.
I have always made things. Firstly quilts, cloth pictures nd all sorts of things around the house, curtains, bags and cushions.I recently started painting though i have had many beginnings of painting in the past. Painting for me is very much to do with finding a voice.
I guess I am interested in what it means to be a human being and much of what I create is about just that.
