I have been lucky enough to work in places that allow me to be surrounded by creativity while earning a living.

Early on I poured the moulds for 'Legacy Dolls', learning the skills of sculpting, mould making and porcelain painting. 

I have since been employed at 'Rubber Stamps by Montarga', where I teach, illustrate, create samples and attend to our many lovely customers both online and instore.
