Artist, teacher, mother, grandma and friend. Always exciting, always creative, always loving and a little bit naughty.

A freezer full of dead animals waiting to be stuffed and piles of beach detritus for her artworks, days out with fire and picnics on the wild beaches of Northumbria, and a total disregard for ‘private land’ if the walk took you through it.

Taken way too early, she is sorely missed by family, friends and students alike. Trespass in peace forever into eternity.
